noisy neighbors

[ohiolandlord]

I recently moved into a new apartment complex that, according to the landlord, is rented to "young professionals and grad students." Believing this, I agreed to pay the relatively high rent and signed the lease.
After a few nights there, I realized that I had made a big mistake. The guys that live above me have two big dogs that go absolutely nuts at all hours of the day, causing the entire complex to shake. I have had pictures jar off the walls and protective covers to the fire sprinklers on the ceiling fall off due to these dogs…
But the worst part is the late night behavior of the tenants. Almost on a daily basis, I am awoken between the hours of 2:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M. by loud stomping noises, shouting, and banging, which persist for up to an hour.
I have expressed my frustration, twice, to the landlord, who said she would have a talk with the tenants in question. The problem still exists.
I understand that many people do not have the same lifestyle and schedule that I have, but I should be able to sleep, relatively undisturbed, in my own home during these hours.
Do I have any legal rights that would justify a lease termination?
Thank You!

Have you tried to be neighborly and confront your neighbors that are bugging you being friendly and advising them of the problem may help but I would do this and document the fact that you asked them and if this continues then I would write a letter to landlord outlining your actions like always be friendly because rudness may start a small war (know what I mean?) anyways in your out line explain I have spoken to you on date ect.. about the problem I have also spoken to my neighbor asking them to be considerate on date time ect.. and I am asking you to please check into this and remidy this problem
you have begun your paper trail.

now if this continues as you stated your legal rights are now begining to be clear.
after a couple of day speak again to landlord asking if they have spoke to anyone about the issues, (document this for yourself what was said and action taken as informed)
If you are still not happy give your notice and request a refund of all and any rent and security due to you feel that you were mislead when renting this place always put in writing and send registard and regular US mail.
Now you have opened the door to go to court if needed.
hope this helps. I only offer this from a past experience.
