<prompt> Human: They have begun doing pretty drastic construction on my apartment building, with no warning, written or otherwise. They have been using jackhammers and saws and its so close to my front door my whole apartment vibrates. They start at 7 am which is too early for me as I work late, and go until late afternoon. Do I have the right to complain ask for a discount?  <response>: Now is the time to read your lease carefully, if you havent done so yet. There are often noisenuisance provisions in your lease, or perhaps a mention of quiet hours for tenants to obey. Also, there might be a city ordinance that forbids work in residential areas before 8AM. So call the city too, it might be that the contractor is not keeping an eye on their workers. You mention that you received no written notice, so check your lease for that verbiage also.I would document all the incidents as well as time, and keep copies of complaints youve made in writing to the landlord. Without accurate written records and documents, you are a just a crank. If all you want is peace and quiet between the set hours youre paying for, then you should get it by law, at least within reason and power of the landlord if the city or neighbors are the ones making a racket, there might be nothing the landlord can do about it.
