Photograph: Getty ImagesA nurse who complained she had not had a lie-in for 18 months due to “excessive sound” emanating from the apartment above hers has been awarded €2,000 in damages by a Residential Tenancies Board tribunal. Ms Mohan, who provided several videos of the “unreasonable noise pollution” to the tribunal, claimed the noise could be heard from 6am and occurs “at all times” throughout the day, sometimes until midnight. While accepting there was a level of noise she must accept in apartment living, she said the noise “goes far beyond what is reasonable”. Ms Mohan said she had tried to speak to the tenant on several occasions, and they were “shocked” there was an issue.
