So, one tenant gets up at 6am for work. (We'll call him Jack)
The other tenant usually doesn't get home from work until 12am. (We'll call him Bob)
The problem is that the tenant who gets home at 12am (Bob) has been watching tv or having people over until the morning hours, 2am, 4am, etc.
The other tenant (Jack) cannot sleep due to the tv/conversation noise.
Jack and Bob have talked about this, but Jack is still not happy because Bob is making too much noise. Jack suggested to Bob that maybe he could use headphones at night when watching tv. It seems like Bob doesn't care all that much. Now, I must sit down with both of them and discuss this situation like I'm a glorified baby sitter.
Jack is the better tenant, so I want to ensure that he is happy.
What are my solutions?
I am thinking the best approach would be to tell them both off (politely, and professionally, of course) and tell them that everyone must be considerate of one another and that if Bob wants to watch tv at 4am, he should get headphones, and that if Jack can't sleep due to noise, he should get earplugs.
Remember.... I want to keep Jack happy. Suggestions?
