Bogan neighbours advice
ctd
Brisbane, Queensland
10699 posts
My girlfriend and I have recently moved into a unit in Balmoral on a 6 month rental lease. We have these bogan neighbours diagonally down from us (it is a two story unit complex) who have a decent sound system that plays the eminem discography every night till about 9 or 10pm. The base is quite clear throughout our whole unit. I am pretty reasonable on weekends but not every weekday. If they were playing some decent balearic house beats I might be cool with it.

I'd go speak to them and sort it out but they don't seem like reasonable people. Bogan accent and vocabulary and I often hear quite aggressive language. Also I work different hours to my girlfriend and wouldn't want her getting harassed by them when I leave for work.

My preferred option at this stage is getting someone to replace us on the lease. I guess my options are trying to reason with them, contacting council/police, contact property manager.

Anyway anyone have any similar stories/advice? Thanks.

The steps in sorting this out if you are a decent person is:

A) Talk to them and ask nicely.
B) Complain

Heaps of people to complain to. There's a specific dB you can't exceed, but by the time you have the cops involved you gf will be getting harassed/. Best option is talk to them

Mate I lived in a unit complex in Beenleigh when I was in my 3rd year of Uni and had a tribe of aboriginals over the fence who were shockers. Worse then any Bogan Aussies could ever be. It was a simple call to the cops that stopped most of the uglier incidents from getting out of hand.

Maybe thats why the previous tenants left.

Contact the Real Estate and tell them you wernt warned about the incessant noise at night and want out of your Lease.

firstly just intro yourself as the new tenants on the block. a nice friendly no issues hi we're the new guys.

this is a good way to sus them out and get a feel for attitude.

over a couple of weeks swap some banter when you see them. crack a few jokes, etc etc. basically build some non confrontational rapport with them for a while.

this then breaks the barrier of you coming straight from a confrontational approach because they "know" you when you are ready to complain.

if all this fails get Spook over with a carton of VB he probably knows them

F*** taking the time to know them and ask them nicely. Assuming they're bogans and you dont want to risk s*** happening...

Complain to whoever manages the place and request they deal with the matter without mentioning who made the complaint. In a building full of tennants, the bogans wont be sure who made the complaint. From memory there may be some sort of formal complaint form that you can fill out which demands the matter be corrected or else you allowed to leave tenancy without repercussions.

Been a while since i did the rent thing but at one stage we had some electrical problem. Contacted rental place a few times and they didnt seem to care. A week or so passes. Thought f*** it, filled out the form, it gives them something like a week to fix or you can leave without breaking your lease. Problem was fixed immediately. Obviously a neighbour complaint is different so maybe record their music volume and time as proof.

You should break into their place at the best available opportunity, and plant a kg of meth somewhere inside the house, then give the police an anonymous tip-off. Or you could sell the meth and put down a payment on a nice unit or house in a decent area.

I wouldn't confront them even if you're an intimidating mofo. Nobody wants to live next to people you have beef with and as you said you're not always there when the gf is. Deads**** like that might give her a hard time when they know you're out.

I would contact the real estate agent. Maybe they manage the bogans unit as well or know the landlord (assuming they rent). Make sure the real estate tells your landlord so they can sort it out. Your landlord wants happy tenants so you don't move out after six months.

don't hesitate to call the Police again if there is more music. The PPRA was recently amended so that noise abatement directions are now all given for 96 hours (used to be a max of 12). Police can confiscate stereo's / hand out on the spot fines / give notice to appears if it starts up again in that period.

There is no need to put up with anti-social behaviour from f*ckwit neighbours

Me and the missus recently moved into a nice residential area close to a school. Had one small noise issue with a party a few weeks back but they put notices in letter boxes a few days before to let people know. Had no issue with that but then, I'm guessing teenage kids home alone during school holidays, are playing massive bass during the day (I work nights). No biggie for me I was once the same, but then the missus calls me saying its still going on at night and daughter can't sleep with it going on. Next thing you know my old man has gone around there and abused the kids about it (was baby sitting while missus went to the gym). Next day the parent comes around and apologizes for their s**** of kids and promises they wont make a sound from now on.

Until recently I had neighbours that on a regular basis would do burnouts in their own driveway on a weekly basis.
One night at 7pm I was having dinner with my wife's parents over and our who house was filled with tire smoke.

I asked them politely to stop doing it a week later they were doing it again. Called the cops the cops either wouldn't come or if they did they couldn't do anything unless it was actually happening. Put cameras up, contacted the real estate agent who responded quickly but didn't do anything.

In the end I called the owner who I had met when they renovated the place and within a month they were gone.

They were all like 30 year old male kiwi's. nuff said

er, a penthouse can only be the top level, (in the case of multiple "tier" there might be some that are not at the highest point of the building, but they have to be the top of that section)

s***, the clue is in the name tophouse

also, did you think your agent will be honest with you in this regards, he sold you a "penthouse" (or your renting) that may fit some really cheeky definition in order to market at sell/rent a penthouse when infact it isn't (thus you pay more for the word where in reality you have yourself a luxury apartment)

Oxford Dictionary meaning for penthouse:


A flat on the top floor of a tall building, typically one that is luxuriously fitted.


So yeah..

A penthouse not on the top floor of a complex is still a penthouse


No it isn't. It is just another common apartment.


Infi: As for Racism.


The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races: theories of racism
More example sentences
1.1Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:



The key part, as you can see, is the belief that one race is superior or inferior to another. If there is no such belief there, then it isn't racism and comes under stereotyping.

I'm at Fitness First Platinum on the silly macs getting stared down by my hotties sweating it out - oh wait, they are paying me to do this. Maybe we will go back to my pad afterwards for a warm down! After all, its only 4 minutes jog away. 


Hahaha I can't believe you're a real person.

Got any professional modelling jobs lately, jc? Actually, probably don't need to ask as you're such a delusional narcissist that if you ever did you'd have posted all about it on your facebook for your legions of adoring fans.
