So this guy I know runs a business. Lol. Rents a unit across the street. Has for years. Used mostly for storage. Needing more space to work I... umm. He, talked with the landlord about using it for a wood shop. Wanted to check as the building is shared between commercial and residential tenants.
Promised to not work at night when people were trying to sleep.
Started off fine until a new tenant moved in right behind. When working on day in the afternoon she starred banging on the wall then came over and asked us to be quiet because she works nights and was trying to sleep. Told her sorry I have to get this done. So then she called the store and complained.
Talked to the landlord. He said well you have been here longer than her and you got to get your work done.
In the interest of nice neighbour I asked what her schedular was and told her I would do my best to work around it. She said she works nights and goes to sleep every day between 3:30 and 4. I said okay I’ll try to work around that.
Then today as I was working at about 1:30. She called the store and told them I need to keep it down she is trying to sleep.
I need to get stuff done. I have looked for other places to rent. But not found anything yet. The building is zoned commercial residential and legally I only need to adhere to the noise bylaws. Where are something like 7am to 11 pm.
I can’t waist half a day because I can’t work due to someone next door sleeping.
What would you do?
