Summer time means balcony time, but it can also lead to disagreements with neighbors. Here are the rules you must adhere to on your balcony – otherwise, you could potentially lose your lease.
Can you grill on the balcony every evening?
– If there is no grill ban or fire ban in place, you are allowed to grill on the balcony. However, remember to prioritize safety and show consideration for your neighbors.
How long can neighbors play music and talk on the balcony?
– There is no specific time limit for when you must stop playing music or be silent, but you must not disturb your neighbors regardless of the time.
– Most people have a better understanding of noise that occurs during the daytime and prefer quieter and calmer evenings and nights. Therefore, lower the volume as it gets later in the evening.
When can you lose your lease?
– If a neighbor complains about being disturbed by your grilling, music, or conversations, try to be attentive and show consideration.
– If neighbors believe you are causing a disturbance, they may contact the landlord, who in turn may reach out to you and ask you to adjust your behavior. In the case of repeated disturbances, the tenant risks eviction.
