What can I do about constant noise from my upstairs neighbors?
Hello,
My neighbors on the upper floor are causing noise throughout the day, almost 24/7. They keep dragging furniture, dropping heavy objects, and slamming doors.
The property manager was not very helpful, and I cannot sleep or take power naps. I sleep when they do and wake up when they wake up.
Also, there are 6 family members in a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai.
Hello,
Under UAE law, you have the right to file a formal complaint with Dubai Municipality or the police if there is an ongoing disturbance from neighbors, especially if it affects your comfort and health.
Additionally, having an excessive number of people in one apartment is a violation that can be reported to the Land Department or relevant authorities.
Our legal center specializes in such cases and can assist you in taking the appropriate actions. You can contact us via WhatsApp for further details and legal support.
Dear Inquirer,
Thank you for reaching out!
Excessive and continuous noise from neighbors may constitute a legal nuisance under UAE law, especially if it affects your health, sleep, or quality of life. Overcrowding in a one-bedroom apartment may also violate Dubai Municipality regulations.
Since the property manager hasn’t resolved the issue, you may have legal grounds to file a formal complaint with the relevant authorities or pursue civil action.
To assess your case and take the right steps, we recommend booking a consultation with us or authorizing our office to act on your behalf.
We’re here to help you restore your peace of mind.
If the problem is not resolved through property management, you can file a formal complaint with the Dubai Land Department or the Tenant Complaints Section, which handles these issues.
You can also file a complaint with Dubai Municipality if the noise exceeds legally acceptable limits.
Arbitration or Legal Recourse: If the problem persists, you can consider arbitration or filing a legal claim to demand compensation or eviction from your neighbors if the noise is unjustified and persistent.
