Are they seriously allowed to basically set up ad agents for their favored or any company cold selling shit and adding to the already unbearable noise in the lobby which they also moved their office to a shared wall with my apartment?

They have demanded above guideline rent increades for the past 2-3 years besides moving their office from the end of the hall to an adjoing wall making it all the more hellish. Do they seriously just get to capitalism-amok all over my ass until i fulky qualify for the (criminal) insane asylum

I may ask more topical questions on this theme as i desperately need to get the hell out of this first floor nightmare apartment , they have a proper same stats apartment in one of the 2 actually quiet buildings, mine is a nightmare central office shithole. :(

an apartment in a quieter building to transfer to. They want to hold me hostage and demand current market rates + extras for them making it more hellish and as leverage to make me need to feel the need to escape this shit.

My living room which is over half the apartment is unusable and its stressing the fuck out of me

My gut feeling is not here. It sounds to me like you need specific local legal advice. Search for a local tenant organisation or union, if such a thing exists where you live. They may offer free consultation. If not that, you somehow need to find or befriend a lawyer.

Are other parties in your building also negatively affected? Start reaching out to other tenants who feel the same way.

What is that even called tho? Like i know sometimes companies rent out store/office space or whatever in those big skyscrapers but it seems crazy they can add more noise to an already unsound proof

What state or province are you in? Where I am it’s called the Office of Residential Tenancies. Your specific rights as a renter will be laid out by your local organization, and may have something about right to quiet enjoyment or some such. But in apartment living you are probably only going to be able to push back against noise during quiet hours. In my city that is 10pm-7am but you’ll have to check your bylaws.

But they cant be turning this into additional office/retail space, thats bullcrap. They should throw in a PlayLand really just to stick it to me. It basically already is but theres further monetization yet afoot at this rate, I fear

They're just gonna keep fucking me till I snap

Can I ask more generally what you would consider this a matter of, like is it peaceful enjoyment violation thru add-on commercial activity or something (no idea if thats a thing, I just dont even know what to classify it as beyond what its infringing on that I'm being affected by)

Its not you or anything but ive shared so much inadvisable stuff here, Im wary of narrowing it down more if that makes sense. Like what is it they're even doing that courts/laws have probably considered policy pertaining to?
