I did try to sleep but had no luck switching my head from learning channel to dream channel. Then I realized I was hungry as well. So here I am. I'll have to crash soon, because I've only had 3 hours sleep in the past 24.

The noise of the repair work two floors above me (noted in the previous post) continued until 9 pm. At 8:30 I called the landlord and informed her of the problem as well as the fact that it was well past the 7 pm cut off time for noise of that sort according to the noise by-law. I reminded her of the noise transmission issues in the building and told her she was welcome to come and stand in my apartment to experience them.

Her usual response was employed: Leave it with me.
A half-hour later, the guy left. Related? I won't know until/if the problem happens again tomorrow. Well, today, I guess, since the day has already rolled into a new one.

[Question] I seem to recall landlords in my past who would have called me to let me know they'd taken care of the issue and maybe, if they were really good, apologize for the inconvenience and assure me it wouldn't happen again. Does that still happen out there in Tenant Land?
