This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

£4000
...to pay the rent for this fucking pile of wank apartment. The show room looked so lovely I spent almost a year on the verge of orgasm every time I thought about it. It is honestly like a living fucking hell.
-Shit security who make up fake complaints so they can come to our apartment and claim an asian called us "white fucking racist bastards". Slightly racist in itself, I think. Shit neighbours who play rave volume music at 4am when you have 9am lectures...EVERY FUCKING NIGHT. And even shitter flatmates who you didn't even want to live with in the first place, but because the people who run this scheme don't fucking listen, you end up with two random cunts living in what is suppose to be YOUR apartment, playing fucking shitty wank rave volume music at 1-4am also.

It is honestly the biggest waste of money ever. And to top it off, there is no getting out of this contract unless I want to loose over 3k and have to pull out even more money for rent on another place.

I hate being responsible.

write
a letter of claim to your landlord setting out the disturbances and telling him you'll sue him for breach of quiet enjoyment if he doesn't find you suitable alternative accommodation or take steps to control his other tenants.

keep a noise and nuisance diary.

otherwise, shit, that sounds awful...

And
<pedantic>
make sure you spell "lose" correctly in said letter.
</pedantic>

Do send the letter though, it sounds like you've been shafted good and proper here.
