it's not ideal that your neighbors are banging on their ceiling when your dogs make noise, but you'd probably still be in the wrong 9 times out of 10.
how would i go about sound proofing carpet? serious because if its that easy i will

Honestly about 90% of noisy upstairs neighbors issues are due to hard flooring that is loud as phuck when anything walks around on it.

Yeah I mean there is no shortage of places that aren't pet friendly which would be perfect for someone like that. It's like moving into a college neighborhood and complaining about college aged kids living around there doing college chit.

its pretty much only the carpet parts that cause a problem. I have an ottoman my dog will stretch and kinda hop off it and sit down. Then the banging on the ceiling starts and it stresses them out and they run around. They dont even come into the kitchen really

If the complex is pet friendly, and the OP's dogs aren't doing anything out of bounds while living there, the downstairs tenant would be out of gas. The burden of proof is on them. They should have to provide proof via time stamped audio/video evidence of what they are claiming. Otherwise it's hearsay. And they can go kick rocks.

Well bro all I can tell you is that these people telling you to lawyer up would only stop management from doing anything and free your tenants to continue banging on their ceilings and possibly screw a sub to their ceiling to blast rap music all day.

Secretly have your dogs stay with your friends or whatever for a while. Continue to make the same noise yourself. When they complain show landlord that your dogs aren't even there and they look like retards
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Well im mostly worried about being evicted over it and having to pay rent at two places so that option seems better wouldnt you think? It says in my rental agreement basically they can evict you if your neighbor has a reasonable complaint about the dog which in my opinion they dont. But it also says they can evict on theyre own personal discretion. So if they like them more than im out. If they say the dog has to leave im immediately ****ed.

Judges are very easily able to discern the difference between an UNREASONABLE expectation like isolation from pets walking/running around in PET FRIENDLYapartment complex, and a REASONABLE expectation of not wanting music blasted.

The complex knows this too, they're just responding with path of least resistance. Since the other people complained first they have all the momentum.

Like I said, complex likely isn’t going to evict you assuming two dogs is in the pet limit. Just saying not much you can do about the downstairs people trying to passively retaliate themselves if you feel there’s nothing you can do within reasonable limits to deaden the sound of your dogs or whatever.

But srsly, they’re complaining about just your dogs jumping down occasionally? Not them or you walking around, barking, tv, anything else happening that would echo normally through a floor? Your dogs must be coming down like meteors or something is being left out cuz.

the only time they bang on the ceiling is when the dogs jump down or run for 1.5 seconds dead srs. i dont know when theyre gonna run but as soon as they do i stop them immediately. them saying they cant sleep is a complete joke i know for a fact they do not make any noise whatsoever at night.

Having two big dogs in an apartment is selfish #1 for the dogs and also very disrespectful to other living tenants. Don't have large dogs unless you have a house and a backyard. Not that hard. Be Better OP

You have no idea what your talking about and choose to judge others when your own closet probably isn't clean i do not respect people who do this. My dogs have an awesome life they go to the park three times a day they get more exercise than yours i would almost guarantee.

Even if your dogs have a quality life, what about your neighbors quality of life? They probably work long ass shifts only to come home having to listen to your big ass dogs rumble around the living room.
