Loud construction noise

Brittany:
I have been living in the same apartment for 1 and a half years. The building across from me burnt down and there was very loud construction for about 3 months. It was so loud that I couldn’t do my homework or study I had to leave and do it somewhere else; i would get woke up early every single morning. Basically it was a huge inconveinience but i let it slide. Now eight months later there has been another fire only this time inside of my building; the noise is outrageous. It sounds like they are actually in my apartment banging on walls and today they moved my balcony furniture and threw shingles, a tarp, nails etc all over it; i cannot go out. I work midnights it is effecting my sleep I asked to be moved to another unit and my landlord wont move me I said at the least can my rent be lowered and that was refused also. This does not seem fair.. Do I have a valid complaint?

They are on a well detailed contract through Feb12, obligating them without option of negation through vacating. They recently (since such exchange) have caused tens of thousands of dollars of water damage to [...] Related posts:

I have a rental agreement with my tenant that states I can enter the property with 24 hours notice to show to a prospective new tenant. They are refusing and saying there is a Nevada law that overrides my rental agreement indicating they can refuse. I need to confirm this is true. Any suggestions on where I [...] Related posts:
