I lived in a second-floor apartment in Austin, Texas for several years. At one point, the neighbors on the third floor would be running around, making massive noise at 2 AM. One night, we suddenly had water coming through the ceiling in the shower area. I went upstairs to complain. Discovered the occupants were: a woman, her father, three teen-aged boys and two dogs. The boys were all wearing construction boots, and were racing around the apartment along with the dogs. The shower was running, but no one was using it, and someone had ripped the soap tray off the wall, which was where the leak to the floor below was coming from. I got them to at least turn off the shower, but the noise continued for the next few hours. The next day, I complained to the management office, and they immediately kicked the family out. Their grounds? The woman swore that it was just going to be her and her father; she wasn’t paying rent for everyone else.
