Translations:Resolving Complaints Respectfully/3/en

For people who host gatherings, receive guests, or keep irregular hours, this subject carries particular weight. A neighbour relationship that remains workable allows a home to stay a place where social life is possible. A relationship that has collapsed into silent resentment narrows what feels comfortable to do in one's own space.

| Understanding=A complaint is, at its core, information. It indicates that something crossed a threshold for another person. That threshold may not match one's own — sensitivity to noise, to smell, to unfamiliar faces in a stairwell, varies widely and is influenced by work schedules, health, family circumstances, and previous experiences in the building.
