Band 8+: You live in a block of flats; your neighbour makes a lot of noise which has caused problems for you. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter, you should: • explain the situation • tell him/her how you are affected by this • suggest what you want the landlord to do.

Dear Mr. Harley,

I am writing to formally address a serious concern regarding the disruptive behavior of my neighbour, which has become increasingly intolerable. As I reside in the adjacent apartment, I am frequently disturbed by excessive noise emanating from their unit, particularly late at night. It often appears as though they are hosting parties, and the volume is so loud that it has made it impossible for my brother and me to get a restful night’s sleep.

Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue directly with the neighbour, the situation persists, showing a clear lack of consideration for the well-being of others. This ongoing disturbance is causing significant stress and discomfort.

I kindly request your immediate intervention in this matter. While I wish to maintain a harmonious relationship with my neighbour, the current circumstances are unsustainable, and it is imperative that this issue is addressed promptly. We all share a responsibility to uphold a peaceful and respectful community environment.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution.

Yours sincerely,

BH
