She could have recorded the child when "stomping" & shaking the ceilings. That was done in a previous case. U could see the mirrors shake. And hear her screaming. I felt bad for the tenants! 🥀
I have kids, and they are noisy. When the tenet at my old apartment complained about the noise i tried to work with her until my lease was up and moved somewhere else that had a first floor. You can't always keep kids quiet. But you, as a parent, can try to make things right with your neighbor and do the best to keep the noise level down.
You and I both! I'm so sensitive to noise! that's why I bought a home, but even that has its challenges when you have neighbors who like to blast music from their garage while they work on their 10 cars in the front yard lol. Noise cancelling ear plugs have become my bestfriend.
@TopherGrant I live in the country with only one close neighbor next to.me and a few scattered around us and a county park/building on my other side. The 4 way stop village is down the road a bit with a small general type store and a small bar/restaurant. But we are in the boonies. One of our neighbors makes all kinds of noise and delights in giant professional type fireworks. Several of us, excluding myself have chickens with roosters they are only noisy during the day unless they are being attacked by animals at night. Unless you buy and build in the middle of a wooded 100 acre lot you will have noise ftom other folks by you.
There's no escape. People in single family home neighborhoods work on loud cars & motorcycles. Play loud stereos, have loud parties, table saws in their garage. lawn mowers. Its as bad as an apt cause they have bigger stuff.
As a landlord, I have had plenty of tenants who expect complete silence from their neighbors. Whether it be a side by side or upper and lower situation. I've found the best way to handle the problem before it begins is to use sound proofing that is intended to help minimize the noise transfer and also sound proofing under the subfloor prior to laying the flooring. It cost a little more, but I no longer have tenants who feel like they have to be extremely quiet in an apartment that they pay to live in. Children and adults can be noisy at times, that's part of life. I find it much easier to try to alleviate the problem before it happens rather than trying to deal with every time someone new moves in. It's a simple, inexpensive way to keep your tenants happy and let them all live in peace.
From experience I can tell you that an 8 year old child running around is actually waaay louder than an adult walking. I had a 6 year old above me that ran around so much a framed painting(2'x3') fell off the wall and my ceiling fan also became detached. It was hanging by the wires. And it was CONSTANT. I think the Plaintiff needed better photos. And needed to be clearer in her explanation. Unless you've had it happen, you really think the person is being unreasonable.
She is suing the wrong person, and she inflated her out of pocket costs. She should have filed the lawsuit against the tenants, and for only actual costs, not an exorbitant amount.
I feel your pain! My first apartment, a family moved in. They allowed their kid to wear rollerblades and I could hear him go all around for hours. Nightmare!
If her ceiling fixture fell down, the kid is doing a lot of jumping. I once had a neighbor above me who let the kid roller skate in the living room. They couldn't understand why i objected 🤦♂️
I've been in this lady's shoes. I understand as well. My upstairs neighbor's children did the same thing! Made a light bulb fall out of the ceiling fan from jumping. Then made another fixture flicker. Was soooo glad when the moved
...Or it's just an old fixture. 45 pound kid bodyslamming the floor intentionally trying to break stuff below shouldn't cause a ceiling fixture to fall if it's installed properly. He's 45 pounds.
I had to move because of the same situation. The kid upstairs was 4 years old and was a monster 😅...I had it and moved. Some people just don't care what their kids do, they feel kids will be kids. That's just not right.
Exactly. The funny thing is they always mention how tiny the child is as if age or weight has anything to do with the amount of disturbance they can create. These people are inconsiderate and disingenuous.
People with kids should be banned from living on a top floor! I have 7 yr old twin boys and I would NEVER EVER dare to live above anyone! I can’t believe people have the gall to live on a top floor with young kids!
What if they have no choice? It’s a housing unit who welcomes people of all aspects, you have kids and you should know how discriminatory your statement is.
i remember years ago that here in california landlords had a legal right to advertise that no kids were allowed but now landlords can no longer turn away applicants because they have kids .
Just because she has been living there for 40 years she thinks that she has the right to complain about ordinary noise like a child walking above her. Perhaps she should move to the top floor and be done with noise above her...
I cannot believe the Judges ruling. Obviously she has never rented an apartment. When kids are running around and stomping their feet for long periods of time it is extremely irritating. I unfortunately had the same experience. The kid needs to go outside and run around and have some fun. Some parents keep their kids in an apartment without any exercise and they get bored, restless and act out.
I just recently had to move from my downstairs apt because of the noise upstairs. Don't the builders of these apartments realize the misery they're putting people through?
No they don’t. The builders/developers are only in it for profit. They use the cheapest materials legally allowed to meet the basic building codes. They don’t give a crap about comfort level of the people that will live in them.
The posture and expressions of the plaintiff alone prejudice others to thinking that she is an unreasonable person, not to mention the dollar amount of damages she was asking for.
I feel for the poor woman. My next-door neighbors played their music so loudly my shelves and cabinets fell down. They would take pieces of wood fence and use it as fuel for barbecues, causing the whole place to smell like a 3 alarm fire. Nobody thinks it's a big deal until they start experiencing it themselves. One way of proving her case would have been to record or video the disturbances, although sometimes even that's not enough. This is why people wind up taking the law into their own hands.
That's poor building not the tenants fault. I'm in a duplex, two storey, side by side. I have never heard my neighbors, and they're in their early 20s. They definitely exist over there. My own child is about 130lbs, 5'3 or so and he plays basketball upstairs in his room (door frame hoop) and I can assure you he thrashes up there. Nothing has ever fallen below him. 😅 Not a light, not a mirror, not a feather. Because the building is insulated so we get to live in here. It's ridiculous to suggest a tenant jumping caused that damage... especially in a Condo which should be super well maintained. The case is 100% about her difficulty living around kids. I guarantee she has none and expected a retirement life in a family friendly environment
To be fair, I have lived downstairs in a condo community, and because there was no sound barrier put in between the subflooring and the Pergo, I heard everybody walking above me and stomping above me. That was nine years of it. Now I live in a bottom unit of a four Plex, and I’m in the same boat. The people above me sound like elephants… I can hear them flush the toilet, I can hear their vacuuming, I can hear their shower… It’s really because there’s no sound barrier between the subflooring and the Pergo. When landlords tear out the shag rug of old places and put Pergo, they really need to put a sound barrier between the sub flooring and the new flooring.
I live on the second floor of my condo unit and I hear the neighbor below me flush his toilet and take a shower too. Fortunately, he lives alone and those two things are pretty much all the noise I hear. Oh, and when he goes in and out of his unit, I hear his front door slam.....over and over and over again - until he finally gets in his car to go to work or wherever. That's what annoys me the most! 😒
Nothing worse than noisy neighbours (having child or teenager is no excuse!) Maybe the Landlord should like their for a week! See how he likes it! Coming round for an hour is not enough!
When I lived in NYC we rented and I had a son. He would roll his cars on the floor and the neighbor below complained. I found out the apartment was supposed to be 80% carpeted and it wasn’t. The landlord made us pay half to get it carpeted. So glad I left.
The plaintiff has nothing to do. The tenant upstairs goes to work and the child is in school. Her mirror, ceiling fan and toilet didn't get broken because a 6/7 year old child is walking upstairs. She was trying to get sympathy from the judge, when she immediately said.... My husband died the same day the defendant moved in. So What ? That has nothing to do with the case. The plaintiff needs a hobby. All she does is sit in the house 🏠 all day long.
@@magicworld3242 Wake up! The tenant with the kid moved out. Gee, I wonder why? Probably because other tenants were complaining. The problem tenant needs to move not the tenant that doesn't cause problems.
Me and my brother and I were playing over a tenant back in the late 60s and 70s. The tenant came up to complain, and my father said, "they are kids think they are going to play at?" And slammed the door. No kiddy places to take kids to play back in those days but the street and park.
Children should never be upstairs just for this reason. They like to play jump and run. When i had to live in an apartment, it had to be upstairs. I didn't want my ceiling to be a floor.
She needs a place out in woods. No neighbors. She's blaming all the 40 yr old home mishaps on the kid. Home is 40 YRS OLD. THIBGS ARE GOING TO FALL APART ON THEIR OWN.!!!
I lived below a family and I was miserable! I asked if she could try to keep them from doing flips and running around at least while I tried to study on Mondays and she cussed me out 😩 needless to say, it drove me to buy a house lol
If you live in an apartment you expect noise. He should have sued her. He lost a good tenant because of her. She made the apartment uninhabitable for his tenant
Even if the kids make a lot of noise, it is likely the jumping simply aggrevated existing issue due to wear and tear from many years of no updating. Its even possible the prior water damage caused weakness in ceiling and/or walls whoch wasn't fixed and later led to these things.
Idk about this one 😅 I live with my friend currently and she has a 4 year old and they live upstairs. (Same house) and he runs, jumps, and does flips. The ceiling downstairs shakes . I’m kind of biased on this lol
@@perfectlyimperfect9129 never said they couldn’t but you need to be considerate of the people that live beneath you. Jumping off of things and running allllllllll of the time is A LOT
I once lived in an apt and my new upstairs neighbor decided to bring in 3 large dogs. The noise was unbearable, the landlord did zilch so I moved out early. People can be so inconsiderate!
Anyone else notice at 10:52 that the plantiff turns around and the man behind holds up his finger like "shush"? 😂 Probably just a coincidence but kind of funny
She's lived there for 40 years and wants what she wants,like not having any neighbors and always getting her way even if that means other people moving out just to make her happy!
I once lived in an apartment building where my downstairs would play loud music every night until 4am and then get mad at me for waking them up at 10am to make breakfast for my daughter.
I agree with the JM's! Obviously the Plaintiff's tolerance for noise from 35 - 40 yrs ago is going to different from now🙄 sounds a bit miserable. What about her grandkids when they visit😶
She is entitled to quiet enjoyment of her house. If that stuff is coming down the parents need to take that kid to the park. I lived under a family who mom never took the kids out they were so obnoxious and destructive. The one kid pulled over a whole entire glass shelving unit bc he was allowed to run wild. Tbh when I heard the crash I thought it was their fridge. It was sooo loud. The kid screamed at the top of his lungs when he didn't get way and would do it till mom gave him what he wanted. They broke over $50 worth of my garden trinkets bc mom tossed them outside with no toys and no supervision. After 5 years of this shit and more so much more I left. Told the landlord no one gonna stay they too loud and disrespectful. The next Tennant who came signed a year lease and left the second the lease was up citing same complaints as I did. I know this bc my friend lived next door and when she saw them moving out she asked why lol hopefully one day the landlord will smarten up
This case gives me ptsd. I have lived below other tenants in a few different apartments and I HATED EVERY DAMN MINUTE. It was adults clomping around, kids, toddlers, loud sex (ugh) overflowing sinks that leaked into my unit, kicking off shoes, leaving stereo on.. horrible. A damn nightmare.
I am sick of hearing people say that "Oh, I am just a tiny elderly lady" or "Oh, he is just a 45 pound little child", AS IF weight has anything to do with the amount of noise that an upstairs neighbor can make. For anyone that has suffered from upstairs neighbors, it doesn't. I am glad that I am finally in a situation where I have neither upstairs nor downstairs neighbors. It was just a bane.
I feel this case is similar to what happened to me and my kids. We moved in an apartment above an older couple they complained about any time my kids moved the apartments manager finally agreed with me that they needed to move to an elderly place not a normal apartment building.
I believe her. She’s lived there 40 yrs and no problems till then. My neighbors daughter who is maybe 3 or 4 comes on weekends and I SWEAR it’s sounds like there’s 5 kids and a lion. Our bed shakes and everything 😂
Okay, the noise complaints, I can logically understand. However, the rest of her "damages", the globe, the smoke detector, the medicine cabinet, toilet seat cover, all seems more like her lack of making sure they were secure or are disrepair. The toilet seat in particular, has NOTHING to do with the kid running around. How she attributed it to the kid running around, I have no idea. The globe, she likely changed the bulb and didn't secure it properly. She's just kinda miserable.
I just went through something similar and I don't think the plaintiff is being too unreasonable. The pain and suffering is too much in my opinion. But the stomping and jumping of the child can be a bit too much as I've just gone through this myself. I had to reach out to my landlord to ask my upstairs neighbors to tone it down. The stomping and jumping to the point of my wall art to fall off the walls, my lights to flicker and myself unable to sleep. Since talking to my upstairs neighbors, the noise has gone down greatly and we have a schedule set so her two boys are quiet at certain times at night. It's been great!
Some people don't have a choice but to live in an apartment. Are you aware of how expensive houses are? People should be respectful of their neighbors.
@@lindsierose797, yes. That's why I bought my house in a reasonably priced area. No one is forcing her to live in an area she can't afford. The fact is life is all about choices, and it's pathetic to complain about the choices you make and act like you're owed something for it.
The plaintiff seems kinda stern but I understand her frustration. I used to live on the 1st floor and the couple above me had a toddler child and he made soo much noise, running all the time and slamming the cabinets. It drove me insane
Just a feeling but I think the plaintiff is lonely and has not recovered from losing her husband. Maybe she should move into a new place that is better suited for her.
I lived under a real loser when my wife and i first moved out together. Her kid would run in circles, and they played music all the time, country crap too. Imagine sleeping at 1am and all of a sudden your woke up by pounding on your ceiling as the little brat runs around. Small kids should never be places above anyone. We moved out and never lived in an apartment again.
I hate when people don’t get a single family home and try to control everyone’s unit. When I had noisy people above me i understood that they pay rent for their unit as I do for mine. If I don’t like it I need to stay on the top floor or buy a single family home. Period
Did you catch the hand/finger movement the man on the left in the audience made at 10:54 behind the plaintiff when she turned around. It's like he's telling her to be quiet. Could be they are connected in some way😅
I love judge Milian, but she obviously hasn't lived in very many apartments with people, including kids, above her because they are definitely very noisy and could cause things to fall, especially in an older building
It seems like everything that has gone wrong in her condo she blames on the kids! The damages sheblaming on the child. She would do good to live in the country away from other people.
The reason her fixtures fell are from improper and shotty installation and not from a child running or jumping around on the 2nd floor. If her statements made were actually true, then every time home owners have new roofs, gutters, ect installed all of the light fixtures and ceiling fans would be on the floor. 😂
The plaintiff I think is set in own ways and she doesn’t care for noise and she is use to quiet neighbor before the defendant came along. I know kids can make a lot of noise but for things to fall off like they did means those things wasn’t secure and needed checked because after so long things have to be checked and replaced if need be. I take care of an individual with intellectual disabilities at his house and he loves to jumped and stomp very hard on purpose and nothing in his house has fallen off or broke but I do tell him every time to not do that because he does have things set up high that are breakable items and if he keeps it up that they will eventually fall and I don’t want him or anyone else to get hurt or to have glass and ceramic to clean up. It takes lot get things to fall off and I feel like things that broke may have been normal wear and tear and the glob for the fan those just don’t fall off and I’ve cleaned so many of them and put them back on the right way and for that to fall off tells me it wasn’t secure the way it should have been possible. Hopefully the next tents who move in meet her expectations but at the same time tents are allowed to move around inside their own place.
It is painful listening to this woman tell a story.
THEN DON'T LISTEN!!!

@@vivianpatton5692they also make houses for people who aren't suited for apartment living. Buy one.
That lady doesn't seem fun, but her clothes are.
I once lived in an apt and my new upstairs neighbor decided to bring in 3 large dogs. The noise was unbearable, the landlord did zilch so I moved out early. People can be so inconsiderate!
The defendant sounds reasonable
When things fall down...
They were improperly installed
Plaintiff is unreasonable
She's losing her mind. She's need to go to a long term care facility
She needed home repair and was trying to find a way to get it paid for.
Agreed
It's an apartment. That's the landlords problem. Best part of renting!
And thats a really tiny kid...8 years old and 45 pounds?! Thats SUPER tiny
Anyone else notice at 10:52 that the plantiff turns around and the man behind holds up his finger like "shush"? 😂 Probably just a coincidence but kind of funny
The plantiff is ridiculous! And she’s been there 40 years! Has she kept the place up? Maybe things fell down bcuz she hasn’t done upkeep?!?🤔
Maybe the building is not in good shape after 40 years.
She's lived there for 40 years and wants what she wants,like not having any neighbors and always getting her way even if that means other people moving out just to make her happy!
I once lived in an apartment building where my downstairs would play loud music every night until 4am and then get mad at me for waking them up at 10am to make breakfast for my daughter.
I agree with the JM's! Obviously the Plaintiff's tolerance for noise from 35 - 40 yrs ago is going to different from now🙄 sounds a bit miserable. What about her grandkids when they visit😶
I always thought it’s funny how she’s noise sensitive but loud af 😩😩 how ? You are the noise that people are sensitive to.
She is entitled to quiet enjoyment of her house. If that stuff is coming down the parents need to take that kid to the park. I lived under a family who mom never took the kids out they were so obnoxious and destructive. The one kid pulled over a whole entire glass shelving unit bc he was allowed to run wild. Tbh when I heard the crash I thought it was their fridge. It was sooo loud. The kid screamed at the top of his lungs when he didn't get way and would do it till mom gave him what he wanted. They broke over $50 worth of my garden trinkets bc mom tossed them outside with no toys and no supervision. After 5 years of this shit and more so much more
I left. Told the landlord no one gonna stay they too loud and disrespectful. The next Tennant who came signed a year lease and left the second the lease was up citing same complaints as I did. I know this bc my friend lived next door and when she saw them moving out she asked why lol hopefully one day the landlord will smarten up
This case gives me ptsd. I have lived below other tenants in a few different apartments and I HATED EVERY DAMN MINUTE. It was adults clomping around, kids, toddlers, loud sex (ugh) overflowing sinks that leaked into my unit, kicking off shoes, leaving stereo on.. horrible. A damn nightmare.
i knew i would strongly dislike the plantiff when they took 3hours to open up the various doors to get inside 😂😂
I am sick of hearing people say that "Oh, I am just a tiny elderly lady" or "Oh, he is just a 45 pound little child", AS IF weight has anything to do with the amount of noise that an upstairs neighbor can make. For anyone that has suffered from upstairs neighbors, it doesn't. I am glad that I am finally in a situation where I have neither upstairs nor downstairs neighbors. It was just a bane.
I feel this case is similar to what happened to me and my kids. We moved in an apartment above an older couple they complained about any time my kids moved the apartments manager finally agreed with me that they needed to move to an elderly place not a normal apartment building.
I think some of this may be grief related. She doesn’t have the distraction/company of her spouse and stuff is coming out ‘sideways’. 🤷♀️jmo
Agreed
I believe her. She’s lived there 40 yrs and no problems till then. My neighbors daughter who is maybe 3 or 4 comes on weekends and I SWEAR it’s sounds like there’s 5 kids and a lion. Our bed shakes and everything 😂
Let Milan live with noisy, selfish neighbours for a month!
400,000 subs congrats PC!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👩⚖️
What ?
Okay, the noise complaints, I can logically understand. However, the rest of her "damages", the globe, the smoke detector, the medicine cabinet, toilet seat cover, all seems more like her lack of making sure they were secure or are disrepair. The toilet seat in particular, has NOTHING to do with the kid running around. How she attributed it to the kid running around, I have no idea. The globe, she likely changed the bulb and didn't secure it properly. She's just kinda miserable.
I just went through something similar and I don't think the plaintiff is being too unreasonable. The pain and suffering is too much in my opinion. But the stomping and jumping of the child can be a bit too much as I've just gone through this myself. I had to reach out to my landlord to ask my upstairs neighbors to tone it down. The stomping and jumping to the point of my wall art to fall off the walls, my lights to flicker and myself unable to sleep. Since talking to my upstairs neighbors, the noise has gone down greatly and we have a schedule set so her two boys are quiet at certain times at night. It's been great!
I get that neighbours can be noisy, but I guarantee this woman is just a Karen.
What a nightmare, 40 years renting and she thinks she owns the place.
It's a condo - she probably does own it.
Beer budget with champagne tastes. Woman wants her rent to cover the entire building's norms.
You shouldn't live in an apartment if you don't want to hear your neighbors.
Some people don't have a choice but to live in an apartment. Are you aware of how expensive houses are? People should be respectful of their neighbors.
@@lindsierose797, yes. That's why I bought my house in a reasonably priced area. No one is forcing her to live in an area she can't afford. The fact is life is all about choices, and it's pathetic to complain about the choices you make and act like you're owed something for it.
The plaintiff seems kinda stern but I understand her frustration. I used to live on the 1st floor and the couple above me had a toddler child and he made soo much noise, running all the time and slamming the cabinets. It drove me insane
“He hardly knew her 🤪🤪” - 🙄
Ok..haha😊😅😂😂
Sounds like bad construction. Normal living is having to deal with children playing. My upstairs neighbor had a mini trampoline. 😆 wahhhhhhh
I feel for her because I understand what she is saying, with her husband passed her nevers our bad.😢
Im glad the greedy plaintiff lost. Shame on her
Kids live next door to me and I feel her pain tbh 😂
she gives off strong karen vibe
First time that "he hardly knew her" joke landed, I'll drink to that!
Just a feeling but I think the plaintiff is lonely and has not recovered from losing her husband. Maybe she should move into a new place that is better suited for her.
Tape and video and then sue the people upstairs.
I lived under a real loser when my wife and i first moved out together. Her kid would run in circles, and they played music all the time, country crap too.
Imagine sleeping at 1am and all of a sudden your woke up by pounding on your ceiling as the little brat runs around.
Small kids should never be places above anyone. We moved out and never lived in an apartment again.
It’s been scRRessful very very scRRessfull. 🙄
I hate when people don’t get a single family home and try to control everyone’s unit. When I had noisy people above me i understood that they pay rent for their unit as I do for mine. If I don’t like it I need to stay on the top floor or buy a single family home. Period
Real talk, I wouldn't pay for a mirror my upstairs neighbor broke by stomping either.
Did you catch the hand/finger movement the man on the left in the audience made at 10:54 behind the plaintiff when she turned around. It's like he's telling her to be quiet. Could be they are connected in some way😅
This woman needs an advocate because her story is so messed up and I can’t make any sense of her story.
JM noise sensitive? What! Althea yelling and hollering she do please...
I love judge Milian, but she obviously hasn't lived in very many apartments with people, including kids, above her because they are definitely very noisy and could cause things to fall, especially in an older building
I could not really understand her at first
Wear and tear
It seems like everything that has gone wrong in her condo she blames on the kids! The damages sheblaming on the child.
She would do good to live in the country away from other people.
She rule so quick when it’s not in the favor of the plaintiff I be shocked …. Hold on where you going 😅😅😅

If any of those items fell they weren’t installed properly and her problem anyway
The reason her fixtures fell are from improper and shotty installation and not from a child running or jumping around on the 2nd floor. If her statements made were actually true, then every time home owners have new roofs, gutters, ect installed all of the light fixtures and ceiling fans would be on the floor. 😂
The plaintiff I think is set in own ways and she doesn’t care for noise and she is use to quiet neighbor before the defendant came along. I know kids can make a lot of noise but for things to fall off like they did means those things wasn’t secure and needed checked because after so long things have to be checked and replaced if need be. I take care of an individual with intellectual disabilities at his house and he loves to jumped and stomp very hard on purpose and nothing in his house has fallen off or broke but I do tell him every time to not do that because he does have things set up high that are breakable items and if he keeps it up that they will eventually fall and I don’t want him or anyone else to get hurt or to have glass and ceramic to clean up. It takes lot get things to fall off and I feel like things that broke may have been normal wear and tear and the glob for the fan those just don’t fall off and I’ve cleaned so many of them and put them back on the right way and for that to fall off tells me it wasn’t secure the way it should have been possible. Hopefully the next tents who move in meet her expectations but at the same time tents are allowed to move around inside their own place.
11"20 TWO Karens
Even if the neighbors were bad how is it the landlords fault sue them
Karen come in all shapes and sizes😂😂😂😂
