But generally, if your noise surpasses the legal limit, you can bet your neighbors will complain and your landlord will ask you to leave. Any landlord who's on top of things will evict a tenant whose activities are illegal, whether its selling drugs, stealing from neighbors, hurting someone on the premises, or the like. If you feel that you've been wrongly accused of violating one of your responsibilities, get professional legal advice because the laws can vary widely in various regions. If your area has any local tenants or legal assistance groups, you might be able to obtain free or low cost legal help. Do Unto Others . . .
Some folks walk a fine line between satisfying and ignoring responsibilities.
Perhaps it's an issue of an individual's free will. A renter who is very messy might clean just enough so the landlord won't object. Another renter might get away with playing loud music simply because neighbors don't tattle. These folks don't think about how their neighbors might be affected. Unfortunately, these renters are the ones that give apartment living a bad name.
