Why don't you racists rename this thread to "Why we hate our Indian neighbors"?

Wearing shoes inside is a surefire way to make tons of noise. These old buildings have zero insulation between floors, and i can hear every footstep my neighbors make when they walk around upstairs. Provide each new tenant with a welcome basket of chocolate, wine and a few pairs of cheap ass slippers.
I had Indian neighbors who lived below me once and my apartment smelled like curry 24/7.

I suggest you check the topography of India, if the whole country sits 50 feet lower than the rest of the world, then maybe you are onto something. Quick, do your investigation & study the effects, your Nobel Prize is waiting!

Op, I feel your pain. I have a new neighbor who's been waking me up before 7am with his stomps. But he is not Indian. In fact, previous residents before him who had been stompers had come in all sizes and shapes, some were women. Next time, maybe watch how they walk before you rent out your place.
But worse than stomping though, are shoes, especially heels. In addition to shaking lamps, you'll also hear loud clacks. The sounds seemed to be magnified somehow. Let me take this opportunity to ask anyone who lives in a prewar brownstone to be considerate of their downstairs neighbors and not wear shoes inside. Much obliged.

It may very well be a cultural thing. My neighbor has the same complaint, she had to ask them to leave. And by all means profile ! Didn't mother tell you to keep your guard up ? If something seems "foreign" to you act on it.

I don't hear the current occupant's feet but I hear their furniture.
Please put felt pads on your furniture. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store ... 56-piece-felt-pads/110979 Most leases and by-laws require 80% coverage with carpet or rug.

Maybe going forward you should add a clause to your lease requiring tenants to put down area rugs to temper the noise issues.

Good lord.
You couldn't stop at "my upstairs neighbor" and had to make some obscure cultural association? For reference, I've had dirty Euro-American neighbors, rude Middle Eastern neighbors, and loud Asian neighbors. Manners, and lack thereof, come in all sizes and are unrelated to profiling.

Can't say with any certainty that there's a cultural practice at issue here. Good luck with your decision.

Yes, I do. Which is why I'm asking rather than just excluding. People jump to stupider conclusions when their quality of life is at stake. Actually it's a sample size of 3, they both walk heavily.

Did the previous tenant have an elephant's head for a head and a really big mid-section? If so you may have been Ganesha'd. It's getting to be a problem of elephantine proportions.
Jokes aside, you do realize the silliness of your inquiry, based on a sample size of 2 or 3 out of 1 billion? What's to stop your svelte blonde Swedish tenant from being a "heavy walker"?

We rent the upper floor of our house, and the latest occupants are a very nice Indian couple who have been great tenants, except that they walk like elephants. We tried politely a number of times to speak to them about it, to no avail. They said they would try, but apparently they simply don't have a "inside walk", where you don't slam all your weight on your heels. They shake the whole house and rattle the lighting fixtures, even when walking after midnight.
A few months ago I was taking with some guys who said they had had an Indian roommate who had the same issue, the landlord gave them a hard time about this person "walking heavily". So is this really a cultural trait? Thy're now leaving (we did not force them out) and I don't like the idea of profiling new tenants based on this, but I can't take years more of a rattling house, and don't even want to respond to inquiries from Indians about the apartment. Any experiences out there?
