Get to know those who live behind the wall and on the floor above and below: these residents will hear the sounds of renovation the most. Find out if the family has small children or elderly people. This way you can create a schedule that is convenient for everyone to carry out noisy work and will not interfere with your neighbors’ rest.
If the acquaintance for some reason was unsuccessful, post a notice in the entrance to neighbors about repairs, in which you warn about the time of use of loud construction tools. The text should be written politely and in a friendly manner. Make a joke and thank your neighbors in advance for their patience and understanding. Well, if after the renovation you look at the residents behind the wall with a small souvenir, there will be no trace of their indignation if it still arises.
And one more important point is the work team. Inform the craftsmen about the repair rules.
What's there?
The same schedule for noisy work that you drew up for your neighbors should be theirs too. Decide in advance where you will send construction waste. You cannot throw it into a general container with household waste, so you need to allocate a special place for it. Make sure that the craftsmen keep the entrance clean and do not leave garbage bags near the elevator or on the stairs.
Prohibit workers from smoking in the entrance. Not only does this break the law, but it also causes negativity from others and may lead to complaints. If you have children and they sleep at a different time, let us know - we will take it into account. Repair work will be carried out from up to hours.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please, let's be tolerant of each other, everyone has children, everyone loves peace and quiet, but everyone has ever done renovations.
Noisy work will be carried out within the hours permitted by law. We sincerely apologize for the litter and inconvenience we create on the landing.
As a token of our gratitude for your understanding, please accept the gift and free use of tiles laid carefully and lovingly by our craftsman. If you have small children, please let us know what time they sleep and we will try to carry out noisy work at other times. Thanks for understanding.
From April 20 to May 25. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and noise during the first days of the work. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience associated with the increased noise level during the repair period, which will begin on May 20. I undertake to carry out the work with a hammer drill from 9. We apologize for the noise and possible dirt, we will remove everything.
We hope for your patience, we will try to finish it faster and not make any noise afterwards with all the ensuing inconveniences. I apologize in advance and promise that we will try to make noise within the legally permitted time. We will act together. Almost all of us have a day off on Saturday.
I propose to get up early, at about 5 am, take drills, perforators, hammers, and start making your way to him, each from his own apartment. And if it is not possible to extract our neighbor from his prison on Saturday, then I propose to continue his rescue on Sunday, at the same time at 5 in the morning... Or better yet, at 4.... But the tap in your apartment interrupts our sleep at one in the morning and wakes us up in the morning!
Although the alarm clock is on. When you have sex, please open both doors of your balcony. You won’t be so hot and the crowd of children who for some reason gather under your balcony every day at this time will be able to better develop their fantasies.
The adult female population of the house is outraged that their husbands rarely, compared to you, and with less quality, perform this procedure... Everyone is very interested in what he is doing to you there, why are you yelling like that?
Understand us! Although we have some envy of your exercises, this is not idle curiosity! The strength of marriage in the families of our home, the sexual development of our children and the productivity of sleep-deprived residents at city enterprises depend on the level of volume and timbre of your screams. Since your heart-rending night screams affect both of them, small children wake up in the middle of the night and cry in horror three floors above and below from your apartment... and the side apartments don’t enjoy listening to the cries of two wounded whales.
We warn you that we recorded everything that happened in your apartment today on video using a quadcopter, and in case of repetition and disrespect for us, the neighbors, we will post the video of your orgy on YouTube. We are tired of your boorish, shameless neighborliness. You live in an apartment building, not a private one, and not in a deep forest. Children and elderly people live near you! Respect your neighbors and children. If you don't stop, we'll be forced to call the police.

Silence law
Before planning repair work, a citizen should study the law and all amendments made to it. Being prepared will help you avoid conflict situations with neighbors and know your rights. The legislation of the Russian Federation stipulates that repair work must begin at 9.00 and end at 19.00.
If someone disturbed your silence, especially at night, you can contact the local police officer. Based on the provisions of the Quiet Law, you can punish the offender. The law on silence in an apartment building gives citizens the opportunity to set a time frame for acceptable noise.

Sometimes in the text of an address to neighbors you can see words of gratitude. As a rule, they are included in advertisements containing warnings about upcoming repairs and other types of work that may cause inconvenience to other residents. In this case, at the end of the letter there is a postscript that looks like this: “Thank you for your understanding!”
In conclusion, it should be noted that including words of gratitude or apology (depending on the situation) in the text of the appeal is a sign of good taste and creates goodwill among the readers of such an advertisement.
We sincerely apologize for the noise and inconvenience associated with the renovation in the apartment. No. 46.

Silence Law – Changes 2019
Noise at night , as a rule, is considered to be an encroachment on public order and tranquility, protected by administrative law. Police officers are authorized to draw up protocols on such administrative offenses. In this case, recording the excess of the permissible noise level using special devices is not required.
At a meeting of the village, at which I raised the issue of moving the site in accordance with the standards for the distance in meters from residential buildings, all the residents of the village trampled on me morally. Everyone is happy with this site, it does not interfere, and there is no need to invest any funds. (the neighbor announced that this is for the use of the entire village) It is very convenient for everyone to send their children and guests to this site.

Therefore, dear neighbors, mobilize your tolerance and accept my sincere apologies for the fact that sometimes the law will be broken (I promise, this will shorten the overall period of noisy work).
Telephone number for receiving complaints and comments, Mikhail
Due to the start of renovations in apartment No. 37 (starting April 15), you may be disturbed by sudden loud sounds, debris on the floor, etc. I promise that the work will be carried out within the time allowed (by federal law). If you hear noise on weekends, forgive me, it means you didn’t have time to finish work on weekdays... but you really want to move from your mother-in-law to your own apartment as soon as possible.

Regulations of the law on noise and silence in 2019
Why do you need to know the law on silence in the Russian Federation? So as not to disturb your neighbors and not get fined for playing too loud music, including not only at night, but also during the day. In order to, in turn, punish too noisy neighbors in an apartment building and oblige them to maintain silence. The new law obliges people to maintain silence even during the day at certain times. What about on weekends and holidays? How does Russian legislation protect the peace of its citizens from construction noise? Where to complain if the construction site does not stop working at night, trying to finish the new shopping center as quickly as possible? Where can you complain if complaints against noisy people do not lead to any results?
- complain to the local police officer;
- apply for an examination that can record the level of noise produced, which will become the main evidence against the neighbors (this is quite difficult to do at night and on weekends, only during the day);
- before complaining anywhere, you need to obtain the conclusion of the above examination;
- you need to find witnesses who will confirm the disturbance, collect their data and signatures. If the case goes to court, their personal presence will be needed to provide evidence (by the way, in an apartment building it is much easier to find witnesses, even at night and on weekdays);
- write a statement to the court.
How to notify neighbors about upcoming repairs or noisy work
The main sources of noise include:
- carrying out repair work using numerous construction tools;
- parties and celebrations with loud conversations and music;
- outdoor games for young children;
- restless dogs (barking frequently and loudly);
- rearrangement of furniture and other actions of residents.
Extraneous loud sounds are especially annoying at night and in the morning on weekends.
First of all, it is necessary to figure out whether the noise exceeds the established standards regulated by law.
Most enforcement measures can be applied only if noisy neighbors do not simply disturb residents, but when this fact is documented, proven and goes against the law.
In our country, there is a clearly defined time interval during which noise cannot be made. This time is from 23:00 to 7:00.
There are certain exceptions. If noise is produced when emergency assistance is provided by employees of specialized services, the consequences of an accident or natural disaster are being eliminated.
When a new apartment building is just being occupied by residents, the sounds of renovation do not surprise anyone. All the new residents are busy chipping the walls, and the trills of the hammer drill become commonplace.
But how can you tap when the tool is very loud and clearly exceeds the established noise standards? Firstly, the bans do not apply to new buildings for 1.5 years
from the moment the house was put into operation. And secondly, for greater confidence, work only during the hours specified in the law on silence and take breaks to rest.
If you've moved into a house that's already occupied, your renovations may disturb other residents. However, even in this situation, a civilized approach solves all problems. Get to know those who live behind the wall and on the floor above and below: these residents will hear the sounds of renovation the most.
Find out if the family has small children or elderly people. This way you can create a schedule that is convenient for everyone to carry out noisy work and will not interfere with your neighbors’ rest.
If the acquaintance for some reason was unsuccessful, post a notice in the entrance to neighbors about repairs, in which you warn about the time of use of loud construction tools. The text should be written politely and in a friendly manner. Make a joke and thank your neighbors in advance for their patience and understanding. Well, if after the renovation you look at the residents behind the wall with a small souvenir, there will be no trace of their indignation (if it does arise).
AND HERE ARE SIGNS ON THE DOOR THAT WILL WARN ABOUT REPAIRS
And one more important point - the work team
The easiest way is to try to negotiate with the residents peacefully.
In some cases, it is possible to influence people who make noise at night simply by talking to them and asking them to be quieter. They may not even suspect that everything that happens in their home can be clearly heard in neighboring apartments and this interferes with a relaxing holiday.
Some dog owners have no idea that their pet makes a lot of noise in their absence. Many car owners are not aware that their car alarm goes off every night and is heard by the entire entrance.
That is why the very first step on the path to silence is peaceful negotiations with neighbors. It is worth trying to come to an agreement and inviting them to take action on this matter.
I want to stick this in my entrance! Fine
I doubt that such an announcement will fly. From my own experience, I know that there are people who do not understand well, and to whom you need to first hit them, and then explain something. That is, you first need to “knock off” everyone who litters, and then just hang up the notice.
We took a different route at our entrance. Pots of flowers were placed on all the window sills, paintings were hung on the walls, and a door with an intercom was installed. At first it didn’t help, they broke off the flowers, stuffed cigarette butts into pots, and in exchange for them empty bottles, cigarette packs and candy wrappers. But gradually we got used to it, now the entrance is in order.
We recommend reading: When Buying an Apartment What Money Can You Get Back?
Announcement for neighbors about repairs, cleanliness in the entrance, maintaining silence
Dear neighbors! I don’t even know where to start this letter, since we have talked face to face countless times and always, you always apologize and promise that you will try not to make noise at night. Well, how can I clearly explain to you, that in the bathroom, which borders the bedroom, the audibility is catastrophic, that your washing stones (or something else incomprehensible, ringing, loud, heavy) at the beginning of the first night, when everyone around is sleeping, there is complete silence and a mosquito flying past hurts your ears, so This washing of something in the sink of yours not only scares me, but will soon make me stutter. And why does this need to be done until 2 am? At the same time, there is also endless rattling of shower doors, some basins, buckets, shovels and hammers ?Well, it’s really worth the noise! At the same time, you manage to run barefoot like horses across the bare floor to the balcony and back to the bathroom, not forgetting to take out high-heeled shoes, then try them on, walk around, wear them in, and only when my husband does his best bangs on the wall, you begin to understand that you did something wrong. Or at 11 at night you suddenly needed to assemble furniture on tiles in the hallway or cut furniture, all this with a drill or a screwdriver, God knows what. And then suddenly at 2 o’clock in the morning you remember that one male representative of your family, a sailor, is going on a voyage tomorrow, so we’ll pack his bag, loudly, with cans rattling on the floor, and dragging this very bag throughout the apartment.
You spent your husband and what? Why on Saturday, early in the morning at 7-20 in the morning, start vacuuming? The children are sleeping on the eve of the weekend, the silence of the early morning and so on. Well, what about your promise to try to be quieter? Well, why, knowing that in our there is such audibility in the house, knowing that small children are sleeping under you, there lives a decent and decent family who do not write a report, do not call the police, why, knowing all this, do you still continue your noisy business? Well, clearly, your music is not blaring, not a drunken party, you, too, are a decent young family without children yet, but they will be there someday, so what? Only then will you understand what fatigue is and you just want to fall asleep normally, and if you’ve already fallen asleep, then don’t wake up from a roar at 2 o'clock in the morning.
And don’t say that you work until late at night - at half past seven in the evening you are already at home, there is always silence, you sit quietly, never bothering anyone until half past 12. But from half past 12 you, like Cinderella, begin to work - wash yourself and that’s it , whatever comes to hand, wash zealously, wash strongly with feeling, with sense, with arranging the furniture. Damn, I don’t want to swear, I just want to sleep, lie down and sleep, calmly, without horses over my head and clumsy bunglers who always have what - to fall from the hands. Who are always pulling chairs on the tiles, without even bothering to try to lift them, even after requests. Horrible. Young, handsome guys, about 26-30 years old. Both work, very well-mannered, I would even say intelligent, but Here are the owls in active form. So active that they are ready to howl.
And believe me, I understand you perfectly - you’re in your apartment, when you want, then you make noise, but you forgot that you don’t live in a private house. You forgot how you ran around at lunchtime on December 31st, looking for someone whose hammer drill was making noise, during the day, mind you. Forgot how they complained that the upstairs neighbors were partying until 3 am. Oh, you’re not making noise, you’re being quiet. Only yours is being quiet louder than all the daytime hammer drills combined!
You are the most hated neighbors for me! You constantly lie when you promise to postpone your bath and laundry procedures to an earlier time, but you yourself continue the same thing! With all your decency and intelligence, you are unreliable and, it seems to me, incorrigible. At first I dreamed that if you suddenly wanted a baby, got pregnant, and then you might go to bed early. Well, a working girl can’t go to bed at 2 and get up at 7 all the time. And then it dawned on me - you’re from that category of people who wouldn’t think of putting a baby under the crib a rug so that it doesn’t make too much noise at night. And considering that your bed above mine will be much noisier for me. I would move to another room, but my bedroom 10 meters away is not suitable for my boys - they have a larger room. In general , whatever one may say, you neighbors are just like a nightmare for me!!!!!!
P.S. That’s it, I’ve spoken out. I don’t know what to do, what to do. Well, I’m a night owl myself, but at the same time I’m relaxing, reading something either on the Internet or TV. My neighbor from downstairs came one day at 5 pm - my the children were rolling a tiny rubber bouncing ball on the floor, she came and asked not to roll, because... It’s early for her to get up, and her girl is 7 years old. At 5 pm!
In many cases, neither verbal nor written warnings help and neighbors continue to make noise at night, as they did before. We will have to resort to other measures.
The first step is to call the police. There is no need to immediately run to a noisy group and announce to them that the police will arrive soon. Otherwise, upon arrival, law enforcement officers will not find any violations.
Having arrived at a call to a specific address for the first time, police officers can only conduct an educational conversation.

The Federal Law “On the Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare of the Population” establishes some restrictions on construction work. Along with all-Russian norms, local regulations may also apply in a particular region, regulating the rules for maintaining peace of citizens and responsibility for their violation.
Let's consider common points for all regions of the Russian Federation:
1. On weekdays, repair work is allowed from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., sometimes until 10 p.m., depending on the region.
2. Standards in almost all regions of the Russian Federation prohibit repair work on weekends and holidays.
3. Continuous construction work can last no more than 6 hours. There is a mandatory two-hour break - from 13 to 15.
4. The total repair time should not be more than 3 months. If you fail to finish on time and your neighbors are constantly complaining, this could result in administrative liability.
5. If you violated the rules and your neighbors contacted the appropriate authorities, then you will face a fine. The amount of sanctions depends on the severity of the damage and is at least 1000 rubles.
6. Permissible noise during apartment renovation should not exceed 40 dB during the day (from 7 to 23) and 30 dB at night (from 23 to 7).
Sample announcement for neighbors about apartment renovation
All printed publications and the Internet are filled with announcements about construction and renovation work in apartments and offices. The standard approach to attracting customers and writing dull, mediocre texts in the style: “Cheap apartment renovation, we are waiting for your calls” or “We will carry out all types of repair and construction work” has not brought the desired result for a long time. More often than not, it’s simply an ineffective use of your time and finances. How can you make your offer stand out from the crowd and attract potential clients?
The high profitability of the repair and construction business and stable demand for these services contributes to the development of great competition between performers. When composing the ad text, it is necessary to unobtrusively and clearly convey to the future client all the benefits that he acquires by accepting the company’s offer.
When placing an ad on the Internet, you need to focus on the frequency and form of queries that people enter in search of a construction contractor. Very often requests take on a rather original and non-standard character. For example: “Repair of a two-room apartment, design, inexpensive in Moscow,” or “Khrushchev-era building in Moscow, repair, redevelopment.”
Analysis of search queries and proper application of its results can significantly increase the chances of increasing the number of customers. The text must also list the benefits of cooperation with your organization:
- high professionalism of employees;
- using only the best and highest quality materials;
- availability of tempting offers and promotions.
All this is a proven and effective way to interest and attract a person’s attention.
As an example, you can use the following declaration test:
“Our construction company offers a service - a comprehensive renovation of an apartment in Moscow on very favorable terms. We guarantee fast and high-quality turnkey apartment renovation of any degree of complexity at the most reasonable prices. The company's specialists have extensive experience in construction, design projects, repair, finishing and electrical installation work.
Advantages of cooperation with us:
- support by experienced professionals at all stages of work from design and approval by supervisory authorities to turnkey delivery of the apartment;
- Individual approach to each client;
- in our work we use only high-quality materials from reliable, trusted manufacturers;
- constant implementation of designer's supervision to ensure compliance of the construction team's work process with the approved project;
- flexible pricing policy – availability of discounts and special offers.
We can implement any of your ideas for renovating apartments in Moscow and the Moscow region, both in a modern building and in a long-standing “Khrushchev” building. The final cost of construction work depends mainly on the following factors:
- total area and number of floors of the apartment;
- design features of the premises;
- quantity and type of special equipment used during repairs;
- complexity of the design project.
Call the specified phone number and our specialists will come to you for a preliminary inspection and an initial assessment of the scope of work. Nothing is impossible!”
You can also place an ad on our website in the “New Orders” section for free.
Be sure to indicate the date of its compilation and verify it with the signatures of the persons applying with an expression of will. An application for the need for repair work is drawn up on an A4 sheet and can be written on behalf of several owners or one citizen.
This means that any thrown cigarette butt or beer can can be regarded as damage to common property. Such a violation is considered by the court at the request of the management company or the chairman of the house council. The violator bears administrative liability in the form of a fine or warning.
By organizing such a meeting, you can encourage residents to keep the house clean and involve other residents in the house to clean, or at least motivate them not to litter. If residents support your initiative to further care for the house and area, write down the meeting’s talking points and collect signatures of those present with their names and apartment numbers.
How to achieve repairs in the entrance. A clean, neat entrance is the dream of any resident of an apartment building. Many owners solve this problem on their own by collecting money and repairing staircases on their own. And someone is trying to get this from the management company. Galina Valentinovna, a resident of a house on the street, told her story of the struggle for clean walls.
Solnechnaya Polyana, 13. Galina Valentinovna, resident of the house on the street. Solnechnaya Polyana, 13: Since 2009, we have been trying to get our management company (DEZ-1) to repair the entrance, but so far all our efforts are useless. It’s cold in the entrance in winter, the windows are all dilapidated, some have no glass, one battery for nine floors, of course, did not solve the problem.

New Federal Law “On Silence” in Russia
In Moscow and the region, any noisy activities are strictly prohibited from one to three in the afternoon. You cannot listen to music loudly, watch TV, move furniture or do repairs at this time. Violating the peace and quiet of citizens will undoubtedly lead to negative consequences for the violator. The silence law provides for the extension of the permissible noise level at night, on Saturday mornings, weekends and non-working holidays. The hour of silence applies to the following objects:
Noise is one of the most pressing problems for metropolitan residents. Noise surrounds people everywhere: in transport, at work, in a shopping center. Every person comes home and wants to relax, gain strength in peace and quiet. Why can someone violate this right? Noise is a disturbance of silence caused by various factors, for example:
What is your monetization model, Maxim?
There will always be a remedy for the unfair work of the management company. only two options by which you can force the management company to make repairs:
- Pre-trial.
- Judicial.
It is possible that representatives of the management company will still take the owners’ claim seriously. And they will begin to actively develop a plan for carrying out repair work. However, this does not always happen, and in some situations only a trial can bring unscrupulous utility workers to their senses.
To do this, you need to correctly draw up a claim and send it to the organization’s address. Algorithm of actions:
- We come to the management company office and ask for a plan for carrying out repair work.
- We are making a claim. It must include all the work that the organization must perform.
- We write in a separate line the requirement to reduce payment for services. If they do not fulfill their duties to the proper extent, let them receive an appropriate reward for this.
- We indicate the exact period within which management company employees are obliged to carry out all necessary repair work.
- We certify the claim from other residents of the entrance by affixing personal signatures of each.
- We send the document to the office of the management company.
You can find out all the details about how to write an application to the management company for repairs here, and in what time frame you should receive an answer, read here.
The repair work that must be carried out at each entrance includes the following items:
- wall treatment before painting (putty, primer, etc.);
- painting walls;

- repair of the vestibule, entrance to the entrance;
- repair of entrance canopies;
- replacement of glass in windows;
- replacement of windows, frames and other window-related repairs;

- repair work related to garbage chute breakdowns;
- repair work of lighting devices, as well as replacement of lamps, fixtures, etc.
If we talk about major repairs, then the repair of the entrance has nothing to do with it. The overhaul includes:
- Basement renovation.
- Roof repair. You will learn how to write an application for roof repair after a leak in another article.
- Repair work related to malfunctioning elevator.
- Facade and foundation of the house.
Entrance repairs are considered routine repairs, not major repairs.
There are three options:
- Filing a claim (what types of claims are there?).
- Collective complaint addressed to the general director of the management company. Read about complaints and applications to the Criminal Code here.
- Proceedings in court. We talked about this in more detail here.
After sending the application to the Criminal Code, you need to calmly wait for a response. If you receive a refusal, you must write a claim to the housing inspection, indicating the fact that the management company refuses to fulfill its direct responsibilities. A common reason for refusal, according to the utility workers themselves, is debt for the services of other residents of the apartment building.
However, you should not believe this - this is the first thing. Secondly, the debts of strangers are not your problem, but the problem of the Criminal Code and the state. Moreover, there are certain methods of dealing with persistent defaulters of utility bills. In a situation where there is no response to the complaint at all, you need to file a complaint.
The completed complaint can be sent to:
- general director of the management company;
- city housing and communal services department;
- to the consumer protection department;
- to the prosecutor's office (more about this here);
- Deputy Head of the Housing Inspectorate for the region. Read about how to properly file a complaint with the housing inspectorate here.

The same schedule for noisy work that you drew up for your neighbors should be theirs too. Decide in advance where you will send construction waste. You cannot throw it into a general container with household waste, so you need to allocate a special place for it. Make sure that the craftsmen keep the entrance clean and do not leave garbage bags near the elevator or on the stairs.
Prohibit workers from smoking in the entrance. Not only does this break the law, but it also causes negativity from others and may lead to complaints. If you have children and they sleep at a different time, let us know - we will take it into account. Repair work will be carried out from up to hours.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please, let's be tolerant of each other, everyone has children, everyone loves peace and quiet, but everyone has ever done renovations.
According to the latest scientific research by scientists, concrete becomes especially soft during the periods: from Monday to Friday from before and from before hours. Therefore, we recommend chiselling, tapping, drilling, etc. And on weekends, the concrete becomes especially hard. Concrete gets tired during a working day, so it is categorically not recommended to disturb His Majesty Concrete in the morning, evening and night, because, when he gets upset, he is capable in the most incomprehensible way of forming fractures of the limbs, hematomas of the para-orbital areas, all kinds of bruises and abrasions on the body of the person who disturbed him.
And Concrete’s friend, the God of Silence, will curse you forever. Please, do not abuse this wonderful musical instrument on weekdays, after 12:00 pm. After work, your neighbors want to relax without listening to this many years of hammering on the keys.
And on weekends, for some reason, you want to get some sleep without jumping up at 10 o’clock in the morning to your improvisations. I also have a neighbor like this - he walked around everyone, apologized, and warned. And he dumped it at sea while the repairs were going on. I'll explain to you, my dear interlocutor. The fact is that repairs are usually done by hired workers, Mon-Fri, from 9 to Or from 10 to 10. Neighbors are different, some will go to negotiate, others will write a statement to the local police officer, or come in the evening to have a serious conversation.
Therefore, if you are starting a renovation, it is better to go door to door to your neighbors, give them your phone number, and explain the situation.
Something like this: Noisy renovation work is being carried out in such-and-such an apartment, which interferes with my child’s sleep and is harmful to my health and that of the child. In the presence of witnesses listed below, I asked to reduce the noise level, which was ignored by the workers.
In this regard, I ask you to check the fact of abuse of civil rights, paragraph 1 of Article 10 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The hectic preparations for the upcoming renovation are behind you, and you are sure that everything is ready, you have taken everything into account and provided for it. Finally, a design project has been chosen, you have come up with or approved the original and stylish decorative elements proposed by the designer, the project has been agreed upon with the architect, all specialists are involved, the necessary materials have been purchased….
Have you forgotten anything? What about the neighbors? Have you reached an agreement with them? After all, we must never forget about this, otherwise conflicts cannot be avoided! For you, renovation is the magical transformation of your home into your dream apartment. And for your neighbors, this means the daily unbearable roar of a drill, annoying hits on the wall from morning to evening, an persistent hum and the inability to rest peacefully after work.
To inspect, we need to tilt the washing machine so that we can inspect the bottom. For a thorough inspection, you will need to use a flashlight. We are looking for traces of water. If your washing machine is loaded vertically, then to check it is necessary to remove the side of the case.
The washing machine has become an integral part of the modern home. After all, using it is much more convenient than washing clothes by hand. It saves us time and effort. This means that by using it, we make our lives better. It’s so nice when you don’t have to do your own laundry. You can entrust this part of the household to household appliances. And enjoy more pleasant activities or relaxation yourself. But, unfortunately, a time comes when any household appliance becomes faulty.
The comfort of living in apartment buildings, especially in urban areas, largely depends on what kind of neighbors fate has given you. It is not always the case that in the next apartment on the landing, or even in the same front door, there live people who lead an exclusively positive lifestyle, comply with all the rules for using residential premises, and “do not spoil the life” of their neighbor. However, neighbors, alas, are not chosen.
For many reasons, the storage of any type of waste, both household and construction, as well as the storage of other things, such as furniture, any equipment, tools, the arrangement of cabinets and storage rooms in the area that is common property in apartment buildings is prohibited. In this case we will talk about staircases.

Sometimes people who smoke cause quite a lot of inconvenience to residents living nearby. Moreover, if we are talking about an apartment building, then this can be expressed in the following:
- smokers throw bulls on the canopy, as well as the adjacent territory, thereby littering the common property of apartment owners,
- Smoking is often done right in the entrance,
- they leave the door leading to the common balcony of the floor open, or they constantly slam it.
Sometimes in the text of an address to neighbors you can see words of gratitude. As a rule, they are included in advertisements containing warnings about upcoming repairs and other types of work that may cause inconvenience to other residents. In this case, at the end of the letter there is a postscript that looks like this: “Thank you for your understanding!”
In conclusion, it should be noted that including words of gratitude or apology (depending on the situation) in the text of the appeal is a sign of good taste and creates goodwill among the readers of such an advertisement.
The first step in interacting with neighbors on the issue of cleanliness is to write an announcement about the cleanup. It might look like this:
“Dear residents of the house! You, like us, residents of apartment N, probably don’t like living in a dirty entrance and yard. We propose to hold a cleanup day to clean and improve our joint property. The cleanup day is held on the N day of the N month at (time). Let's put our house in order together."
Since you are showing initiative, stock up on equipment - uninitiated neighbors may even be embarrassed to go out, but when they see that there is work for them, they may join in. Be sure to write down everyone present at the cleanup, take photos before and after the work begins. After subbotniks, meetings among those present turn out to be effective.
By organizing such a meeting, you can encourage residents to keep the house clean and involve other residents in the house to clean, or at least motivate them not to litter. If residents support your initiative to further care for the house and area, write down the meeting’s talking points and collect signatures of those present with their names and apartment numbers.
