Being a good neighbour

Living close to others involves both a sense of
community and consideration. We all have
different habits, schedules and needs, so
please keep the noise level down, show
respect and help keep our shared
spaces pleasant.

Remember that you are also responsible
for ensuring that your guests and pets
show consideration for others.

Be considerate in everyday life

Everyday sounds such as cooking, vacuuming and
conversations are part of life in an apartment
building. At the same time, everyone should
be able to feel safe and have the opportunity
to enjoy peace and quiet.

Please remember to:

• keep the noise at a reasonable level,
  especially after 22:00
• be considerate when playing music, having
  a party or taking part in other activities that
  your neighbours may hear
• keep shared spaces such as corridors, lifts,
  laundry rooms and outdoor areas
  clean and tidy

Are you having a party
or inviting many guests?

Let your neighbours know in advance. A note
in the corridor or a brief conversation can
make a big difference.

However, informing your neighbours does
not mean that the usual rules concerning
noise and consideration no longer apply.

If you are being disturbed

If you feel safe doing so, please talk to
your neighbour first. People are often
unaware that the noise they are making
is disturbing others.

If the disturbance continues, you can
contact the disturbance response
service on 031-772 97 97
between 22:00 and 05:30.

You can remain anonymous when
reporting a disturbance.
A call-out costs SEK 1,500
for the person responsible
for the disturbance.

Repeated or serious disturbances
may ultimately affect the tenancy
agreement.

In an emergency

Always call 112 if a crime is in progress
or there is a risk to life, health or property.

Please also look out for your neighbours.
