I would be planning to do any remedial in my own property where I have control.
You can’t change others’ behaviour or their flooring unless they agree to it but even then you can’t control the installation so won’t know it’s been done right or done at all. And then they move out and the next lot just rip it all up again and install four year olds.
I went through this and moved to a top floor flat to escape it.

Yeah I'll have to hope I get used to it for now.
The lease does include a carpet requirement, not that a carpet alone would be enough, so if it does do my head in I guess I might be able to argue that they're in breach of the lease.
I don't want to make enemies, but is possible to require that a leaseholder includes sound dampening material in the floor, in the event that any work to the floor is done? An "if you do it, do it properly" kind of thing?
