RE: [FIRST / SECOND / FINAL] Notice — Noise Disturbance at [PROPERTY ADDRESS]

Dear [TENANT NAME],

Delete before sending: mark the warning level in the RE: line and in the closing paragraph. Use “FIRST” for an initial courtesy warning, “SECOND” for a repeat issue, and “FINAL” when the next step is formal lease-enforcement action.

We have received complaints regarding excessive noise from your unit. The reported incidents include:

Date Time Description of Disturbance
[DATE OF INCIDENT 1] [TIME] [e.g., loud music continuing past midnight]
[DATE OF INCIDENT 2] [TIME] [e.g., shouting and banging reported by two neighbors]
[DATE OF INCIDENT 3] [TIME] [ADD OR REMOVE ROWS AS NEEDED]

Under Section [LEASE SECTION NUMBER] of your lease dated [LEASE DATE], all tenants are entitled to the quiet enjoyment of their homes, and each tenant agrees not to disturb neighbors’ peaceful use of the premises. Delete after use: quote or paraphrase the lease’s quiet-enjoyment / nuisance clause here, e.g., “Tenant shall not make or permit noise that unreasonably disturbs other residents, particularly between [QUIET HOURS START] and [QUIET HOURS END].” Local noise ordinances may also apply.

What we expect going forward. Effective immediately, please:

  1. Keep music, television, and gatherings at a volume that cannot be heard in neighboring units, especially during quiet hours ([QUIET HOURS START]–[QUIET HOURS END]).
  2. Ensure that your guests comply with the same standard while on the premises.
  3. [ADDITIONAL EXPECTATION, e.g., relocate speakers away from shared walls — delete if not needed.]

Consequences of continued disturbances. Keep the paragraph matching the warning level; delete the others.

  • First notice: We are treating this as a courtesy warning and expect no further incidents. Additional complaints will result in a second, formal warning.
  • Second notice: This is a formal warning. Further verified complaints will result in a final notice and may lead to lease-enforcement action.
  • Final notice: Any further verified disturbance may result in a notice to cure or quit and, if the conduct continues, termination of your tenancy and eviction proceedings in accordance with the lease and applicable law.

If you believe the complaints are inaccurate, or if there are circumstances we should know about, please contact us within [NUMBER] days at [PHONE NUMBER] or [EMAIL ADDRESS]. We want every resident, including you, to enjoy their home.

Sincerely,

[LANDLORD / AGENT NAME] [TITLE, e.g., Owner or Property Manager] [COMPANY NAME, IF ANY] [PHONE NUMBER] · [EMAIL ADDRESS] [MAILING ADDRESS]
