Listmates, I have a client that lives in a condo and is home all day. The upstairs neighbor has decided that their daughter is the worlds next drum super star and bought her an entire kit. Practice starts at 8 AM and continues off and on until 8 PM or
later. My client is climbing the wall but I have not researched how annoying your neighbor can be before triggering a cause of action. The HOA board and management is worthless. Thoughts?<br>
