Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan

Children

What are the laws about children living in upper-dwelling in an apartment complex, who constantly make noise. The manager says there is nothing he can do about it, and the parents refuse to cooperate with me to keep their children from making as much noise as they already do. my lease states I have the right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of my apartment. i do not recieve this, what can I do?

Re: Children

If the noise is excessive and unreasonable (ie. into the late or early hours), you can demand that the landlord take action. If the landlord refuses you can abate the rent (pay it into escrow) until the matter is resolved. Make sure you notify the landlord that you are abating the rent and the reasons why. You probably should work through an attorney. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
