About noise after 10pm, rental contract

[UpsidedownMartini]

Evening all,

In our rental contract it says no noise that can be heard out of the property after 10pm, my partner gets cross when I say that we need to turn the music down after 10pm... says I’m boring/controlling.. am I being an arsehole? I don’t don’t think I am?

Pretty rude to your neighbours to make much noise after 10pm anyway, regardless of what your rental contract says. Your partner sounds like an arsehole.

I've never known a rental contract to specify a time though, I live in a flat and try to keep any noise down after 9ish. You want to be careful if it specifies it because if your partner takes the piss and carries on then you might end up being kicked out.

I should add that we are in the middle of a terrace...

It's common curtesy not to make excessive noise after 10

I thought the same, I am respectful and do turn it down, it just causes a lot of issues and I just wanted to check I wasn’t the arsehole

Why does your partner get cross with you? Is he drunk? Or is he just a bit nasty?

If you've just moved in you might get some complaints from the neighbours before long.

If he wants to make noise, her should live in a field.
Do you know your neighbors?
Could you get one of them to make noise at a time it would bother him when he is trying to rest?
Give him a taste of being on the receiving end?

Odd that it’s written in the contract unless the landlord has had issues before. It’s just good manners to keep the noise down late at night, of course with young children etc you will get some noise but things you can control like music should be down low.

They say I’m boring to not have music loud, I love music but not at the detriment of others and their sleep and relaxing on a evening. There is drink involved but they are very placid usually so I’m trying to be calm about it and put my point across

My rental contract specially states no noise audible outside of the property between 10pm and 8am. I get it though because the way our houses are laid out on a hill sound travels. The neighbours garden sits above my youngest boys bedroom and it drives me nuts in summer!

In properties I rent out we have a 'no disturbing/ unneighbourly noise clause' but it's not got a time restriction on it!

The fact that you say it's caused issues and are questioning if you are an arsehole is a bit worrying OP. This wouldn't be an issue for people who respected their neighbours and their partner. Doesn't sound like your partner respects either of you. Hope you are okay.

LTB he sounds like a right dickhead. When you have a child together will he still make a racket and blast his stupid music after 10? Wanker.

I’m ok, I just don’t like the tone taken when I calmly say “let’s turn it down for the neighbours” i’m standing my ground though and there’s not physical violence

Or anything else

I'm not sure loud music should be played at any hour especially after 10pm. And this has nothing to do with your rental agreement. Sure you can play music volume down or have headphones. His reaction is very immature.

Who know if children are on the cards but if they are I can tell you from being a nanny sleep is paramount and i’d rather be a single parent that have a kid that with someone who doesn’t get that!!

It is very immature I agree, I have suggested headphones... just have to keep going at it abs stand my ground!

Honestly, if you're playing loud music until 10pm you don't really care about your neighbours having a relaxing evening

I turn it down before then just get a load of agro from partner...

Wonder what @JullyNea said!

@UpsidedownMartini Your partner is being an arsehole. People who play loud thumpy music (so the neighbours can hear it through the wall) are cunts.

And as a pp said, you should not be playing it really loud ANYtime anyway. It's fucking horrible, nasty, low-rent, anti-social behaviour. And it affects the right to quiet enjoyment, the peace, and eventually, the mental health of your neighbours. Ditto a loud TV, or loud shouty voices.

Why do some people think it's OK to behave this way? The fact that the LAW states it's wholly unacceptable after 11pm, and is actually frowned upon in daytime hours, should tell people to fucking STOP IT.

Why the fuck do these people think everyone else should have to tolerate their noise?

I don’t play loud music, I was saying was I being an arsehole to say to partner to turn it down and any advice on how to do it? I definitely do not think it’s ok

No OP you are being thoughtful and courteous your partner on the other hand sounds very immature. S/he needs to learn about being more considerate to others, and for me this would be a deal breaker. Have you asked your partner why they need the music loud?

I fucking HATE people who blast music in residential areas, and especially after 10pm. It's low-life, scumbag, shit behaviour to do this to other people. We're about to get a neighbour like your partner. I and other neighbours will do our very best to get their inconsiderate, drunk, low-life twat arses booted out of here as soon as possible because NO ONE should be subjected to someone else's ghetto punk ass loud music.

There's no end of ill I wish on people who do this.

Your partner is immature, inconsiderate and a dick.
