I have heard "my upstairs neighbour" and "the tenant that lives above me" or something like that.

I agree with the others. You could also say "the neighbor above me". The opposite is "the neighbor below me".

Dear Yolanda,
 
Assuming that you live a block of flats here in the UK:
 
"My neighbour upstairs:  My neighbour downstairs".
"My upstairs neighbour: My downstairs neighbour".
"My neighbour above: My neighbour below".
"My neighbour above me: My neighbour below me".
"The tenant who lives upstairs: The tenant who lives downstairs".
"The tenant who lives above me: The tenant who lives below me".
"The tenant who lives above: The tenant who lives below".
"The people upstairs: The people downstairs".
"The people in the flat upstairs: The people in the flat downstairs".
"The people in the flat above: The people in the flat below".
"The people in the flat above me: The people in the flat below me".
 
I hope that this helps.
