I think I may be too new to New Haven to know what you are referencing, but it certainly wasn’t a village. 66 Norton was a condemned building that the city forced tenants to move out of (read in an article) and then some slimy landlord bought and renovated it on the cheap. Water coming through the ceiling, pests, $1000 electric bills, the list goes on. Absolute nightmare.

That's ok, we realize we probably have to sign a 12-month. We just need to make sure there's a way to break it (usually a fee and notice).

Edit: Not sure why I’m being downvoted. Nobody will give us month to month. We are looking for a house so that means we have to break the lease if we find one. I can’t help it that I need somewhere to live in the interim, but nobody wants to lease for less than 12 months. Landlords are paid a lot of money if we have to break a lease. They win in the end and we lose.

We are looking for a house in Milford. There are very few rentals in Milford that we can get short-term, so we are looking in New Haven. We don’t have tons of options right now.

Either way, I’m from Dallas. I am very familiar with city life. This is just the worst apartment I’ve ever lived in, and the most expensive by far.

My wife and I had a similar issue but not only with the woman upstairs stomping, but also a woman with dementia next to use screaming at night to get her husband's attention from another room.... Who died a decade prior. We moved to an apartment that was top floor and had a much better time. We've since bought a house, but while we had it top floor was definitely the way to go.

I don’t think you understand. We are being woken up even with earplugs and white noise, and we can’t relax in our own home. The toddler has no rules. She runs and throws things for hours on end, starting at 5:30am sometimes and ending after midnight sometimes. It is hours of bangs, crashes, screams, stomps. This is not normal noise and it is not short-lived. It is nonstop for HOURS - including quiet hours.
