Neighbours in Sectional Title

Living in a sectional title scheme comes with its own set of rules and regulations, and one of the most important ones is to be considerate of your neighbors. This is especially true when it comes to noise, as it can be a major source of conflict between residents. 

It's important to remember that your neighbors have the right to enjoy their homes in peace and quiet, just as you do. This means that you should always be mindful of the noise you make, whether it's during the day or at night. 

Here are some tips on how to be a considerate neighbor:

1. Keep the volume down: If you're listening to music or watching TV, keep the volume at a reasonable level. This is especially important if you live in an apartment building or a townhouse complex where sound can easily travel between units.

2. Be mindful of your pets: If you have pets, make sure they're not making excessive noise that could disturb your neighbors. This includes barking dogs, meowing cats, and squawking birds.

3. Avoid loud parties: If you're planning on having a party or get-together, let your neighbors know in advance and keep the noise level down. You could also consider inviting them over to join in on the fun!

4. Communicate with your neighbors: If you're having issues with noise from your neighbors, try talking to them about it in a calm and respectful manner. They may not even realize that they're being too loud.

5. Consider your neighbors' friends: It's not just your neighbors that you need to be considerate of - it's also their friends and family who may be visiting them. Make sure that they're not making excessive noise either.

By following these tips, you can help create a harmonious living environment for everyone in your sectional title scheme. Remember, being a good neighbor is not just about following the rules - it's about being considerate and respectful of those around you.

    1. You don't, but you can at least attempt to place the bird away from open windows.

    2. Birds need sunlight, so I guess you know nothing about animals
