Turkish Laws.....Noise.

[Shamless2]

Hi everyone  can anyone answer his question for me. Forgive me if it's already been asked. We have an apartment in a complex with 10 apartments, we have just be told we need a noise contract for an apartment block of this size, we have been there 8 years and have never heard of this before.

I have to ask, who is telling you that your complex has to have a noise contract?

[Shamless2]

One of the other owners.

what is a noise contract please? am very curious as we are a complex of 14 and am pretty sure we don't have one, in fact I have never heard of it, what would it entail and how do you go about getting one please?

[Scunner]

Sounds like one of "those" owners

indeed it is! I have never heard of this before so was worried there is going to have to be another massive outlay of money for solicitors.

I wonder if it is more of an agreement between neighbors to keep noise levels below a certain level as opposed to a legal requirement.

I've never heard of such a thing either.

Are we talking late noise? After midnight?
Loud music, dogs barking, children playing in the pool.  What sort of noise could possibly need a contract drawing up to say it is not acceptable and how would you police it anyway?

[Shamless2]

My thoughts exactly Anne, if there was noise abatement for music that's one thing, but it would need to be policed and as none of us live there all year round how could we do that. I think I have enough information, or even, lack of proof of such a contract to go back to said "neighbour" and ask them not to waste our time and money on their suggestion of a solicitor.

Sounds like the "neighbour" has got a beef about someone causing what he/she thinks is unacceptable noise and wants to drag you in on his/her campaign and get you to share the cost. Solicitors are not cheap.
