Assistance with legal questions about nuisance from neighbours


Questioner

As apartment dwellers, my wife and I have been disturbed in our living pleasure for years by the poor insulation of the floor of our upstairs neighbors. An acoustic investigation was carried out by the VvE at our express request some time ago, which did not lead to the desired result (an end to the nuisance). I want to ask the subdistrict court judge to rule on this. How do I approach this without incurring (too many) costs?!

Lawyer

It is very important that you consult with the upstairs neighbours so that you can build up a file of complaints (if there is not one already) and if all this does not help, you could start summary proceedings with the judge. But to save the quality of life and the emotions, a joint solution is the best thing you can do.

Lawyer

First of all, it is important to determine which rules are included in the division regulations and the internal regulations regarding floors. I cannot tell from the question whether there is a 'hard floor covering'. Most regulations state that these may only be installed with the permission of the VvE or in compliance with the provisions included in the regulations or internal regulations. Such permissions can always be withdrawn by the VvE. Perhaps a subdistrict court procedure is not necessary and this can be arranged via the VvE.

Thanks for the offer, but this public manner is not our way to handle this matter!
