Selling new construction after receiving funding / Wohnriester - possible?

He does not adhere to the compromise, moreover, wearing earbuds is not a renunciation of music? That is merely a renunciation of 40€.

The solution would be a compromise. You can't expect him to give up his music 100% as long as it's at times when he is allowed to listen to music. Neighborhood means compromises and not just enforcing his own wishes.

That is a problem: Not everything that is allowed is also legitimate in dealing with each other. Relying on that only helps in court – where one really should not want to go.

Headphones are not a compromise in my opinion. A compromise would be, for example, that he only listens to music at certain times/hours and otherwise you have your peace. Personally, I find headphones disturbing/uncomfortable. If you offered him something like that and he does not stick to it, then in my opinion you are in the right.

Karma is a bitch (quite literally).

I would get a few more chickens and occasionally offer them some eggs :-).....

I also like listening to music, but if a neighbor comes to me and complains, I would apologize and stop it or try to find a compromise. Many people are simply egoists and therefore don't care.

A neighbor a few houses down has chickens. I find them very cute and you don't hear a peep from them. Every now and then one runs away and walks through the gardens here, really adorable. We also want to have chickens in the new house. I don't think it bothers anyone there either, several neighbors already have chickens.

Some people find headphones disturbing, others find being constantly subjected to sound disturbing. Whose problem is it then? Such and similar trivialities are dealt with by German district courts every minute. But what for? Even if you win the case, in the end you still have the fuss and noise with the disturbed neighborly relationship as long as you live there. Basically, you can only flee from it.
