Hypothetical Question

Let's say you have a dream apartment, just a 2-minute walk to the Davis Square T, in a building that is run exceptionally well and is everything you could ever want in a home.
Now let's say the fire alarm goes off about once a month, for no apparent reason. You hear from your neighbors, usually it's during the day while you're at work. You have no doubt the management does what it can to fix the problem.
Now let's say you've been away for three weeks, not getting any sleep and walking a lot. And you get back, you have a stress fracture, and all you want is a consistent 8-hour block of sleep, at least, to rest and catch up and beat jet lag. And the fire alarm goes off one morning at 3:30 AM. And the next at 6:00 AM.
Who would you kill?What would you do? Write a firm letter demanding rent back? Move? What?
