Possible answers: 1. People have problems when neighbors make noise frequently, when they don’t keep the property neat and clean, when they’re nosy, etc. 2. You should talk to your neighbor to make him or her aware of the problem. If that doesn’t work and if the neighbor is breaking a building rule, you can talk to your building manager or landlord. If those things don’t work, you may want to move out!
