"I had a noisy neighbor in the apartment above me. The music was SO loud in the hallway that I couldn't tell which unit it was coming from at first. I knocked on his door and politely asked him to turn it down, but he refused, and I knew I wouldn't get anywhere with him. After a few more days of this, I decided to take action. The laundry room on my floor had all of the electrical panels for individual units clearly labelled. Every time he blasted his music, I would go to the laundry room and turn his power off. I started off with a few seconds (to give the illusion that he blew something), but when he STILL wouldn't put his music lower, I would just shut his power off for hours. I could hear him swearing, but I didn't care. My lease was almost up, and as soon as it was, I was out of there."
