    What does the landlord / lady have to say about this? The housemate might listen more to them.
    Ah-haaa That's the worst thing.She's the Landlord's daughter *facepalm*

    You were warned about it and still decided to live there? I dont really understand why if it is that much of an issue that you would agree to living there.

    As much as you feel you have the right to demand she be quiet, she has just as much right to be as noisy as she likes. I dont really think you can decide that she has to go and visit them, or the number of days she is allowed visitors.

    Play really loud music from 2am to 7 am, see how she likes it. She might come in and ask you to drop the volume, tell her you have just as much right because her friends keep you awake all night most times.

    When I first moved in we were both busy and she had people over once a week on thursdays (sometimes every two weeks) but I didn't get disturbed as much as I do now (3 to 4 nights a week).

    I didn't state any rules until I talked to her about it like the 8th time.It was a last resort as she kept me up until 3am when I had a 9am after I had said she was being loud and I could hear her and her bf's discussion about equality in relationships.I'm not saying she can't have people around but hearing a full conversation about whatever at 2am isn't gonna make me a happy bunny if I've got to be up at 7am.

    Sorry I kept forgetting to use multiquote!
    That's another thing she can't hear me from my room! I don't understand why!
    But I usually have my music on low but even when I have it loud.
    Maybe it's just my temperament or I have good hearing?
