Re: Apartment drama, noises following me, permanent life tilt

sorry if i did'nt cleryfy myself in the first place but what i ment was that, when the owner wants to take your deposit then he'll find the reason annyways. I personally haven't had an experience, but couple of my m8 had, even in australia.

I don't wanna be optimistic, but clearly if the owner sees, that you are some way easy to take advantage of(at this point foreign), then some of them will.

It doesn't matter what they want.

If they are trying to hustle and can't be bothered/don't want to argue or something find some Estonian, even from this forum for example for the fraction of deposit fee who is willing to argue with/for you.

Imo there is a law that if you don't sign the lease ending contract and give up keys he is not allowed to go into your rented apartment even if he got spare keys and if he does you can call cops on him for breaking in even when you are not paying him rent money for months... There are some law students in this forum who can probably answer this.

If he is f*cking you with security deposit, f*ck him with not moving out. There is possibility you can get into minor trouble for it, but worst case is that you have to just pay some fee which I guess is super-low chance, most likely is he will give your security deposit back if you won't give up easily.

I heard in US some high-stakes players wrote they had problems w/ getting security deposit back and it would be pain in the ass to fight for it, just easier to give up, but I assume it's much easier in Estonia to not get f*cked with it.

Also, can you report in somewhere when owner is not paying taxes? We threatened a douchebag who hustled us w/ security deposit when I was 19 and first moved to Tallinn and didn't know shit but didn't proceed with it, but is it possible and can owner get in trouble?

bass doesnt mainly come through walls.. bass comes through windows. since glass has no resistance to audiowaves and bass has long waves that come through the windows.. so .. isolate your windows :D

What is Your landlords 1st name? If it's Vladislav, Gennadij, Julia, Viktor, Natasha, Elena etc, then You have about 10% chance of getting money back.

If it's Kristel, Toomas, Tarvo, Andres, Kristi, Kusti etc, then it's around 90%

Its most important to make sure you understand the contract. Many of such rental contracts have a clause, where they state that if the person renting wants to terminate the contract in less than 6 months after signing, the owner isn´t obligated to return the backup fee.

bass comes through the construction. for example through beams.

Its the opposite imo the walls are INCREDIBLY thick atleast like 1m at most places.. if they are old, but probably they have made some constructions and built some more apartments using gyproc or smth like that

Re: Apartment drama, noises following me, permanent life tilt

I had a friend over last night who heard the exact noises I was hearing. At first they said, I think it is just a truck that drove by, but then it happened every 2 minutes. The sounds are very real at this new place.

I was playing poker last night and my table started shaking for 5 minutes in a row. In the middle of the night the walls on which side there are no windows was shaking every couple of minutes. I was woken up by it. I think maybe the ventilation system in the place is fucked and that is what is causing. Or some heating system, which when gets activated creates a ton of noise.

Anyways, I am checked into My City Hotel for the time being and recovering.

I saw a doctor yesterday, he said my right ear is inflamed and gave me some medications. Right now my priority is just getting my hearing and sanity back to normal.

I cannot cancel the lease immediately... got some travel plans coming up with EPT Copenhagen, and APPT Seoul. Probably just going to need to keep my stuff at this new place and use it as a storage facility :D

Thanks everyone for the suggestions on new places to look into... maybe somewhere slightly outside Old Town will be best. Going to start looking for new places when my Korea trip is about to end (mid March).

This is so wrong. If you have contract (you always shopuld habe), you pay deposit/rent in cash and IF YOU WANT back your deposit money even if u broke something, then u always can.

HINT: not paying taxes is illegal and no-one wants troubles. But its dbag move.

How? What is the point of deposit then?

'Oh hi, owner. I broke your TV and I gave you deposit money to cover anything I break, but I want it back now, so give it to me.' ?

Re: Apartment drama, noises following me, permanent life tilt

"kadriorg" is a good choice as suggested above. i cannot vouche for it, but I would think some outer houses (i think they are called black house and white house) in "rotermanni" kvartal might also be quiet in upper floors + they are basically in the old town. also "kalamaja" is very quiet + close to town centre and although mostly old wooden houses, it may be worth to look into.
