I think the answer is - because they’re lazy and want you to do their dirty work for them. I quite frankly, am not going to call the police over noise complaints because I think management should do something about that. Police should only be called when violence or tenants who get aggressive.

Not because of noise, I just think it’s management dumping responsibility onto you when they’re the ones with the power to evict people.

    That’s the law in pretty much anywhere that derived their tenancy agreements from English law.

    Please feel free to share an example, because this seems like absolute nonsense.

      The landlord’s duty to adhere to quiet enjoyment means the landlord must:-

      • Ensure the tenant’s actual possession of the property is not interfered with by the landlord or the landlord’s agent
      • Prevent any interference with the tenant’s enjoyment of the property. Interference may arise because of an omission or failure to act.

      The right is usually used to protect against harassment from landlord, but it extends much further.

        Neat, our tenancy laws pretty much borrow that word for word!

        In this case, loud neighbouts, failure to act would mean not calling law enforcement.

        Or letting the place deteriorate would generally count. But, most buildings are up to code etc and the landlord isn’t expected to install extra sound proofing above and beyond code.
