Here are some useful resources and links to help residents with a variety of legal and resident right issues:

It depends on what your lease says. Most leases provide that it is a violation of the lease to engage in conduct that unreasonable disturbs the rights and comforts of others near the leased premises. If your lease contains such a provision, then unreasonably loud music or noise would violate that lease. If the lease provides nothing about noise, you may still have a problem. Most leases also provide that the tenant will not engage in unlawful activity. If the noise is sufficient to represent violation of the law (disturbing the peace) it could represent a lease violation as well. If the landlord believes there's been a violation, before evicting you, the landlord must first give you notice of the violation with three days to cure the violation. If the violation is not cured or if the violation occurs again, the landlord is then free to provide a notice to quit and then evict. However, parties are free to agree to any terms that they choose, and if your lease provides that you are free to make unreasonable amounts of noise, the noise would not be a violation of the lease.
