In the house I rent, maintenance and crews come and go occasionally due to my health issues. I have asthma and use steam machines, etc. The landlord wants to terminate the contract citing this as a reason, saying "there's too much noise." Am I obliged to accept this situation? Do you think they have such a right?
I also have asthma; at one point, my neighbors complained about the noise from the device. But I’ve never encountered nonsense like a lease cancellation. Frankly, I don’t believe there’s any legal basis for this. Am I supposed to account for everyone who comes in and out of my home?
Okay, but the landlord might have a point too; you say maintenance teams are coming and going constantly. So, maybe the other tenants in the apartment are also bothered? It's not just the noise of the machines; the frequent comings and goings into the house could affect them as well. We shouldn’t think one-sided.
Now the landlord needs to have a valid reason to terminate the rental agreement. Normally, just citing noise does not grant the right to eviction. However, if there are additional rules such as apartment regulations and this situation is seriously disturbing the residents, they can initiate the process. I suggest consulting a lawyer for detailed information.
Let me add that, actually, I haven't received any complaints from the neighbors at all. Only the landlord is expressing discomfort, and what he's calling noise is probably the sound of the steam device and the team's arrival. But I mean, what does he expect me to do, stop my life?
What kind of logic is this? My neighbor has a CPAP machine too, and you can hear it, but it's not unbearable after all, it's about health. I think he's just making excuses for his own convenience. It's already tough for him to take legal action; he's just trying to scare you.
