Am I being considerate or a weirdo

Advice Needed

I’m moving into a new apartment soon and for the first time I’m going to be an upstairs/top floor neighbor. I have two pets and I’ve always stayed in rental town homes with both floors so I never had to be very considerate of anyone below me.

I don’t want to see a Reddit post about me in the future or a note on my door, so I wanted to just introduce myself once I move it & warn them about lots of noises that move in week since I’ll be unpacking, moving and building items. I also wanted to let them know I vacuum on weekends incase they work nights or something.

Anyways, my boyfriend thinks it’s very weird to do this but I want to do it just to be considerate.

If you have an upstairs neighbor, would you want them knocking on your door introducing themselves or should I just go about my day & see what happens? 😭 be honest thanks!
