[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you may not be evicted but you might not have your lease renewed.  Plan for that possibility.

You may also want to consider the possibility that your downstairs neighbor may look into a civil suit against you.  They may be recording and noting all the times your child is screaming and disruptive.  And may elicit other tenants to do the same.

Bottom line in communal living is what is reasonable.  A reasonable amount of noise from children is expected.  That may include some running, yelling, occasional tantrums and crying.

But SCREAMING should never be considered the norm.

DC leases don't have to be renewed, they convert to month-to-month automatically.

It is very difficult to evict a tenant in DC who pays on time.  The landlord's choices are very limited, and there is no way that a landlord-tenant judge will side with a landlord against a mother with a newborn and a small child.   People who say you can get evicted have never set foot inside that court.[/quote]
