Being a Good Neighbour

Being a good neighbour is easy when you follow the Golden Rule: Treat others as you’d like to be treated. You are likely to see your neighbours everyday, or at least quite regularly, so you will have opportunity to build positive relationships.

If you experience excessive noise for an extended time, we kindly ask that you contact us, so we can address the situation.

Noise Levels

Our communities are not completely sound proof and with that comes the inevitability of noise. Please be aware of a few tips when it comes to making too much noise.

• Please do your best to keep the decibel level reasonable when watching TV or listening to music. • Avoid stomping on your floor, especially in loud shoes. • If you have small children, the pitter patter that you think is adorable, may be bothersome to your neighbours. Area rugs can help keep sound down. • If you are enjoying the company of friends and family, let your neighbours know in advance.

Remember, sometimes your neighbours may not realize just how loud they are being. A polite conversation with your neighbour or a knock on the wall if it is late at night may help.

Odours

We understand it is your right to smoke in your home, so it is important that you do your best to be as courteous as possible to your neighbours.

Please keep in mind that when living in close proximity, cigarette smoke and other odours can easily seep into the common areas and your neighbours’ homes. To maintain an enjoyable environment for all our Resident Members, we kindly ask that you make every effort to mitigate any odour escaping your suite. Remember, we’re always here to help! If at any time second-hand smoke or odours from another suite begin to interfere with the enjoyment of your home, we encourage you to contact us so we can resolve the matter for you. Some communities are now smokefree, please refer to the rules and regulations of yourcommunity.

Cannabis

Boardwalk does not permit the smoking or cultivation of cannabis in our communities.

The smoking and cultivation of cannabis can result in noxious smells, higher than average electricity usage, and excessive moisture build-up.
