wow what a real bastard.

unfortunately there really isn't much you can do. management can merely advise the people upstairs to behave like human beings, they don't have the authority for anything else really.

if you're renting the place, you could still move out but if it was purchased, not sure if moving will help as you can't guarantee you'll have good neighbours at the new place either. living in malaysia, chances of getting sick neighbours are pretty high, whether condo or landed.

Well .... You really serious for a permanent solution or just want to sembang kencing? If you seriously looking for a solution first find out how many ppl staying above your unit and if any got heart or health issues or not ....

Where? It also has something to do with the material developer uae

The unit above rented out? Try speaking with unit owner then.

got that before, complained to management, management doesn't bother.
complained to the tenant, the tenant didn't care. Complained the second time, they threaten to disturb me if I make noise again.

In the end, I had to ask my neighbour for help complain to the tenant also. The tenant somehow got scared because more people complain.

first, define the foot noise. Stomping on purpose? or exercising? they could be doing work out like jumping jacks and didn't use a yoga mat.

an eye for an eye if you really want a permanent solution, cause the same degree of disturbance on them too by 'cucuk langit' lolol

Damn, your condo management is absolutely useless
You should geng up with other owners during AGM to boot out this useless condo management
My condo have better set of rules to control these noises but onus of proof must come from you in terms of video recording
Unfortunately, I can hear chair dragging sound up to 4 floors above me.
Yes its that bad.
During MCO was really bad
But I am glad that there is a construction next to my condo
So any idiot who is thinking of sleeping late will be awaken by the construction next door.
I think the major problem with your condo, is the management.
Talk to other neighbors, accumulate complain and try to boot them out next AGM.

Is it just you and your wife ? you have kids ?
If no kids, you can activate world war 3
they stomp, you go to your toilet early morning and start slamming ceramic to your tiles. Or your toilet bowl lid, just drop it.
Your upstair sure can hear
But downstair also can hear, so be ready for complain
or you can take a ladder, can use a hammer to hit the ceiling. Hope you don't have plaster ceiling.
I always think condo plaster ceiling is a waste of money, I don't even bother to waste money doing it.

Long term you can consider to move out and rent your unit
But you move to landed and also rent
until you find a longer term

For me, I also hate to stay in condo
Condo in msia really suck to stay in
developer really useless one
They claim they do QC check but none at all
as a result all the main door slam loudly, due to rosak door closer
floor to floor also lack insulation
I stay in Australia and HK also not get this type of shit
Except in London, my condo have that stupid piping problem sound everytime my neighbor flush his toilet
Only in Msia, condo is built like crap and they never bother to think about sound insulation

Your condo say before 11pm mean can do renovation in weekend also ?
Damn if yes, really useless tak guna management
My condo not allow renovation any time in public holiday and weekends.
Strictly owner will get fined.

I once had a crazy neighbor upstairs that can't stop running from 2am to 5am.
Luckily I rented that unit for 1 month from my uncle.
I had enough after 2 weeks, I moved out.

Condo has so many problem with sound
1) dragging chair/furniture
2) footstep sound
3) Slamming door sound
4) Bomba now require new condo to install fire proof door: they are heavy and lazy ass developers don't do QC check on the door closer, so most door closers are defective causing units to super slam the main door until dead also wake up
5) ceramic cup sound of your neighbor brushing teeth and put the cup on the granite toilet tile

Almost all condo in Msia have hollow floors.
Only those very high class posh ones near KLCC, cost > 2 million per unit, have insulation
Moving to landed is a costly option
because you have to buy second hand
A single storey house in PJ cost 700k
A double storey one probably cost 950k
Then you need another 250k to renovate
You also need to headache to hire a reliable contractor that can do your whole renovation work
I have a friend who hired a contractor to extend his house from 2 storey to 3 storey, keep on asking for more money but work not completed
then he stopped giving the money and his house was in limbo was another 1 year
until he found another contractor to finish his home
He learn the valuable lesson of being cheated

Get to know the occupants on the unit above that culprit. Then pakat with then to lompat2 together from there. Hell from above.

TS, I think you have 2 options, since you cannot cucuk langit.
1. Talk nicely with them
2. Talk fiercely with them.

This is the downside of staying in condo. There are other disadvantages too:
Neighbours washing balcony and the dirty or soapy water splashes into your unit,
Smokers downstairs,
Smoke from josssticks,

Before you go talk to them
bring the security guard with you just in case
I think its best to have MO go talk to them instead of you

But its only noise up to 11 pm ?
After 11pm ok ?
My one worse, I got noise at 4am.

keep on pushing
don't give up
push the MO
talk to them
The cat is out of the box
the upstair already know you are frustrated with their foot step noise
so if they become malicious
even worse
so you have nothing to lose

Do you have a watsapp or telegram of your condo group ?
Go say something there
see if you can get some complains
my condo telegram group made a lot of open complains about footstep noise during this MCO
reach out to the resident committee
to the chairman
I made contacts with some influential people within the resident committee
at times I talk to them about the issues we face

economy is very bad now
if you try to sell your unit you may not get a good price
I heard one house wanted to sell for 650k...but due to bad market and ppl hard to get loan, the price went down to 600k
Bafore MCO, that type of house can fetch 680k.
single storey house

Omg
that's why when buy condo
don't just look at showroom and price
don't just judge by fascade
see developer reputation, though most of the stinks, avoid the sinkiest
see the management office team
see the neighbors
see how resident committee fight for their rights
my own resident committee just came out with new set of bi-laws
which includes nuisance as one of the rules
about making noise disturb the peace

Wtf. I'm sorry that you have such a problematic neighbour. I honestly think it's best that you start to plan your exit from this place.

With condo living and having to deal with horrible upstairs neighbours, it's not a matter of "if" but "when". You could have decent people living above you for a few years but that could change at any time. One could say that it applies to even landed houses but the difference is with condos, you are at the mercy of the ones above you.

You can find tons of forum posts filled with stories of desperate people seeking solutions to unbearable noise from upstairs and the only way to permanently resolve this is to move out to a landed property. Try older subsale houses in decent neighborhoods. Normally, these are better built than newer ones far away.

as per TS,
mine even worst.

drag the chairs, moving furniture etc etc
timing damn chunn weh,its after MIDNIGHT.

duno wat to do de la,
haish. inb4tabuleh tahan move out lor.

just dun blive ppl are inconsiderate until this level...sigh.......selfish to the max...
lucky for u to move out.....some stuck if they bought the unit...
sigh...

There are plenty of narcissistic/sociopathic people around us. These people are downright selfish, uncivilised, and uncompassionate, no matter how rich or educated they may be. Sometimes the richer they are, the worse they behave.

true...current situation...sigh...
so you are staying in your own unit?

OMG, good to know I'm not the only one facing this issue during MCO!

Now that kids are not going to school, my next door neighbor's kids are running even after 12am! I've complained to their parents but they just seem to not really care. Not sure why it's so difficult to discipline their kids. 

Going to complain to the MO soon...and if it keeps happening, will shame them in the residents whatsapp group. Sometimes people just won't stop unless you outright shame them and everyone knows they are the problematic neighbour.

I used to stay at the highest floor to avoid those noisy.
