Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be evicted for being too loud?
Yes, if the noise substantially interferes with other tenants' reasonable enjoyment. However, normal living sounds aren't grounds for eviction. The landlord must prove the noise was excessive and unreasonable, not just that someone complained.
What is an N5 notice for noise?
An N5 is a notice to end tenancy for causing interference with others' reasonable enjoyment. You have 7 days to stop the behavior. If you do, the notice is void. If you repeat within 6 months, a second N5 cannot be voided and the landlord can proceed to eviction.
How can I defend against noise complaint eviction?
Defences include: the noise was reasonable living sounds, the complainant is overly sensitive, poor sound insulation is the real problem, the complaints are retaliatory or discriminatory, or the landlord didn't give proper notice or follow procedures.
