Hello everyone,

I moved to this new building in Doha 4 months ago,
the problem that i have is i live on first flour,
and since i've moved in there has been some extreme noise due to the work in the shop right below my flat woekers with drills hammers doing shop fittings,thay start work around seven in the morning and they work on fridays too!any ways i have emailed the realestate company and informed them this extreme noise is affecting my health as sleep late and do not start working till around 10:00 am,i called the police to complain sop they can stop working on Fridays and to start after 8:30 am weekdays and still positive response!!

is there anyone can help and tell me what can i do legally as i started to suffer from anexiety attacks since around 2 months back due to lag of sleep and the extreme noise shock in the morning.

Thanks to all

and in how many shops such work is going on,if many shops are there and work only in one then your entire term of contract will keep on getting such noice.

Going to police,even going to LandLord,Keeping plugs,going with Bat all won't work.

It may be even difficult for you to break contract in one month as Land lord might have kept vacant for a long time also.

ray82, just bear it for few more days..May be the work will get over in few days timing...If not, then take strict action..Tell your landlord/agent about your genuine problem and try to shift somewhere else..

Surveying new places will never work. When you move into a place, it could be all cherries and berries. Then the next door neighbor will decide to demolish his property and come up with a new project. So, you cannot read the future :) I think you can adjust yourself to sleep with such conditions. I know I did, and so many times. For the past week we have construction being done behind my bed room. LOL, I sleep through it all and it is great.

This is Good Lesson to do survey properly before you rent a place. Simple solution : move out & find new place

i agree, ear plugs should do the trick (available in pharmacies)
