The apartment complex is sending some floor inspectors to my apartment tomorrow because of this. Im not deliberately stomping or doing anything wrong. I did move my work desk to the living room part of the apartment because I was working from home in some crammed corner in my room, so could this be the issue.

Have you tried tip toeing? FYI you dont really get on the tips of your toes, its more like the underside of the first set of knuckles, so it doesnt matter how fat you are

Read your lease agreement carefully. Some agreements require a certain amount of floor space to have a carpet/rug.

I could see myself slowly turning into an asshole neighbor if I lived below somebody, so when I got my solo apartment, I picked upstairs. I never got any complaints but I'm also a naturally light stepper.

I have been a downstairs neighbor too though. When Mrs. DevsBro and I first got married, we had a first floor apartment. We called our upstairs neighbor Stompy. He/she was true to his/her name for sure. Also, he/she used to have rave parties by him/herself, complete with loud music, repeated jumping and even a strobe light lol.

You should record the noise for his place also as a backup. Unfortunately dead silence doesn't really exist in apartments.

My upstairs neighbors have some small terror that sprints arounds the house for somewhere from 2 to 12 hours a day and we can't anything to happen. I think the worst days might be due to a babysitter or older sibling being in charge.

At least they are better than our previous neighbors who couldn't move without stomping, blasting music, and would scream at their phones at 2 in the morning. They got evicted over rent.

My girlfriend sounds like mr. X from REmake 2 when she walks. The bottom neighbor started complaining often. Everytime I told them we were sorry and wed be more careful. I started walking on tip-toe but she shes too clumsy to walk like that. After a while I told them to f*** off. They didnt complain for a few months then moved out. I won!

It's really easy. I do it without even thinking now. If you walk like you would outside, he can likely hear you. Just focus on walking lightly and putting pressure on the part of your foot before your toes.

nobody should be forced to walk tip toe because some guy thinks living on the bottom floor of an apartment complex should be noise free

Nah I didn't mean to imply that. It's just that I'm an old man and when people say something I have even tangentially related experience on I'm like "GATHER ROUND KIDDIES!"

Sounds get altered and magnified in buildings sometimes so its possible that simple walking turns into stomping.

Maybe go talk to them and see if its something specific? I had an apartment neighbor that would take baths really late at night and talk on the phone and unfortunately the acoustics/pipes/vents or something made it possible to hear every word she said like she was in my apartment, and if Id have to up early it killed me. I went and let her know shes not usually noisy at all, but when shes in the bathroom its loud and she immediately stopped doing it at 3 am, or at least stopped talking on speakerphone, no hard feelings
