Comment on Why does apartment management expect you to call the police over every tenant incident?

The landlord’s duty to adhere to quiet enjoyment means the landlord must:-
- Ensure the tenant’s actual possession of the property is not interfered with by the landlord or the landlord’s agent
- Prevent any interference with the tenant’s enjoyment of the property. Interference may arise because of an omission or failure to act.
The right is usually used to protect against harassment from landlord, but it extends much further.

Neat, our tenancy laws pretty much borrow that word for word!
In this case, loud neighbouts, failure to act would mean not calling law enforcement.
Or letting the place deteriorate would generally count. But, most buildings are up to code etc and the landlord isn’t expected to install extra sound proofing above and beyond code.
