Re: noisy bedroom
You can certainly have a chat with your neighbors about the noise coming through the wall; if that doesn't work, tell your landlord (in writing) and ask to be transferred to a different unit. If your landlord is not sympathetic, move out, giving adequate notice.
But rising to the level of a nuisance is not supported on these facts. Breach of your covenant of quiet enjoyment, yes, nusinace, no. A nuisance would be a crack house next door.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
