How to deal with noisy neighbors?
This is the end! It can not go on like that any more! It can no longer be supported! 02:30 at night, and the neighbor from the top floor buzzes. It is every night. I'm in work at 8.00 am, and the work I do requires a high concentration.
Do I have the right to "silence" or can neighbors make noise when they want?
Thank God as well as the other neighbors in the condominium we have not only rights but also obligations to live peacefully "under one roof".
Any owner, user or occupant in the block is obliged:
not to carry out activities or actions in its home which cause anxiety for other neighbors beyond what is usual;
to observe the rules of internal order in condominiums.
That sounds good, but your neighbor can argue that his personal right is to make noisy coupons and repair his home.
If I'm upset - there are legal ways to sanction our neighbors! If I'm willing to pay a lawyer experienced under the Condominium Law, I can quickly and easily contact a specialist on this page.
When is it forbidden to make noise? Who sets the rules?
It can be said that the "protection" of the noise of the neighbors is arranged on two levels.
Normative as the basic acts are ordinances of the Municipal Councils with limited effect in the territory of the respective municipality, with which to regulate the respect of the public order, including when the noise is allowed.
Important! These regulations generally contain similar rules, but this is not necessarily the case. So before I look for my rights, in this unpleasant "rushing" situation, it is good to visit the website of my municipality and get to know the exact time when it is unacceptable to make noise.
For example, in Sofia, Ordinance No. 1 on public order and the preservation of municipal property on the territory of Sofia Municipality is currently in force. According to her, I can ask my neighbors not to raise noise (organize noisy entertainment, carry out repairs and production activities) at any time other than expressly stipulated in the Ordinance, and it is:
from 8 to 14 hours and from 16 to 20 hours on days declared to work;
on weekends only with our consent as neighboring neighbors - for example, the neighbor warns that this Saturday will be a bit louder than usual, because from 10.00 to 14.00 I will change my windowwork;
Important! The playing of musical instruments and singing for training, rehearsing, teaching and music can be done only from 08.00 to 14.00 and from 16.00 to 22.00 hours.
2. The General Meeting of Condominiums shall be obliged to adopt rules for the internal order of the condominium. The decision is taken by a majority of more than 50% of the represented shares of the common parts of the condominium. According to the law, the Minister of Regional Development and Public Works adopts an exemplary internal regulations that can be used by the General Assembly and is not obligatory. With the current exemplary rules I can meet here. According to him, it is forbidden to play, to sing, to make speech and entertainment, to use sound systems, to wash and dishwashing machines, to perform productive activities and repair works that disturb the rest of the inhabitants from 22:00 to 8:00 am and 14 to 16 o'clock in the afternoon. Exceptions are allowed only with the permission of the Chairman of the Board (Manager).
