What can be done about loud intimate noises coming from a very recently tenanted unit in a Strata building of 20 apartments? – Barbara, NSW

Q: What can be done about loud intimate noises coming from a very recently tenanted unit in a strata building of 20 apartments?

A: The simplest solution will be to simply communicate with the neighbours (either face-to-face or by leaving a letter) informing them of the noise issue. They may not be aware of the inconvenience they are causing. If the issue persists and requires escalation, try contacting your committee or strata manager is issue a letter to communicate the breach of by-laws (assuming this reference is covered in the by-laws).
