House rules of department AAB 16

Introduction:

A department cooperative with many residents is comparable with a miniature society. We are more or less dependent on each other and have things to do together. Therefore we naturally set some minimum rules to ensure a nice social environment in the property. We ask you to remember, that these rules are set to protect you, your neighbours and the property.

If we all acknowledge the necessity to take each other into account, we can create a safe and nice living environment.

At the same time the rules are set to provide peace and order among the residents and to keep the property and the open space in good condition, so that the maintenance cost is kept to a minimum. That is why it is of great impotence, that parents guide their children and at the same time act as a good example.

Remember that it is up to yourselves – through your rent – to pay for the refurbishment – and for the things you might break.

To ensure the good social environment, we ask you to personally contact your fellow resident if you feel violated by him or her before you contact the board of the department.

Remember!

If you, your family or your guests violate the rules repeatedly, your lease will be taken for evaluation.

Noise in general

The department is from the 1920s. If this building In particular is more sound-sensitive than other buildings from that era is unknown. But the board calls that you show consideration to your fellow residents and do not make any unnecessary noise, and that you show tolerance toward your neighbours – we all live here!
