I’m having a noise issue coming from another apartment.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Texas, landlords are generally required to provide a habitable living environment, which includes addressing excessive noise. Have you reported this issue to your landlord or the property management company?
Yes, I have multiple times.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. If your landlord is not resolving the noise issue, you may:
- Use Texas' "repair and deduct" or "rent withholding" remedies.
- Sue for nuisance if the noise is affecting your health or enjoyment of the property.
- Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
