Keeping the peace
If getting paid is your apartment owner’s top priority, a close second is a peaceful building.
KEEP THE PEACE AT ALL TIMES!
Creating a disturbance, holding loud parties, and, especially bothering (or threatening) any other tenant, are about the fastest way to irritate your owner. Owners want the occupants to get along quietly and peacefully.
Owners absolutely hate disturbances, fights, visits by the police, etc. An adjunct of this is never, ever, conduct any illegal activity at your apartment or from your apartment. It is a guaranteed way to get evicted should the details emerge.
Remember if you signed a lease, it likely contains a peaceful use clause. That means you promised to live quietly with your neighbors, at all times.
The fact that your buddy is just in from California, and it’s the weekend, and you’ve got this new killer stereo, and the latest Lady GAGA CD, is not sufficient warrant to breach the quiet use condition.
In other words, a disturbance of others by you is most likely a BREACH OF YOUR LEASE. Cause enough problems, particularly with other tenants, and your owner will file for an eviction.
As an attorney, I know and can assure you Courts have little sympathy for troublemakers. Worse, you’ll end up spending money on lawyers. Trust me; there are better, smarter ways to spend your time and money.
If you want to LIVE LARGE, and who doesn’t, then getting there requires keeping calm, cool, quiet and collected…
