I don't see anything particularly out of line with regular apartment rules in my experience. The only thing I can see is the quiet hours do start a little early; 11pm is more common than 10pm.
- datameta 5y agoYeah I'm generally not taken aback much, sounds about in line with a large NYC apartment. The one thing I can't live with is no roof access when there is such an elevated expansive view.
- syshum 5y agoTo many of us a large NYC Apartment also sounds like a nightmare... For me when I bought my house the number 1 rule, unbreakable that I gave my realtor was absolutely, under no circumstances how me a house with a HOA...
- gizmo686 5y agoThese people didn't buy a house, they bought a portion of a larger building. That entire premise is utterly unworkable without some organization managing the larger structure. Most of the rules in the above document relate to usage of the shared portions of the building, not the specific condo that the person owns.

- adventured 5y agoPeople on here that are unfamiliar with rigid quiet hours, allow me to introduce you to how Germany does things (Ruhezeit) - https://blog.lingoda.com/en/what-is-ruhezeit-in-germany/ https://blog.lingoda.com/en/what-is-ruhezeit-in-germany/
- majewsky 5y agoAnother German here. I'm legitimately surprised by this article saying that the entirety of Sunday is considered Ruhezeit. It's true that most stores are closed on Sunday, but I've done plenty of vacuuming and laundry on Sundays and never had anyone complain. Just to be sure, I just checked the house rules attached to my lease contract, and they define Ruhezeiten as Mon-Fri 13-15, 22-6 and Sat-Sun 13-15, 22-8. This is in East Germany, maybe the entire Sunday thing is a West German thing?
- Moru 5y agoI was helping my mother in law mow the lawn a sunday afternoon, just like swedish people does it. Turns out that is a nono. West Germany.
- ajmurmann 5y agoI remember not being allowed to mow the lawn on Sundays. Nobody would call the cops on you, but your neighbors sure wouldn't like it.
- Laforet 5y agoWhy 13-15? Is siesta a thing in Germany too?
- noneeeed 5y agoI kind of miss when the UK had much stricter Sunday trading laws. I'm not religious, but there was something kind of nice about having at least a part of the week when pretty much everyone was off work, and most things were closed. Of course it was also a massive pain in the backside if you needed something and the shop was shut.
- wingworks 5y agoMan I would like something like this here, even a very weak version. Last Christmas day our neighbors across the street had an all day "party", turned the stereo up so far you could hear the bass through the whole neighbourhood, and I couldn't think at home, had to leave for most of the day. I get people want to celebrate, but does the music/bass need to be that loud, really.
- jader201 5y ago> The only thing I can see is the quiet hours do start a little early; 11pm is more common than 10pm. If we lived there, my wife would appreciate 10pm vs. 11pm being quiet hours, as she's often in bed well before 11pm.
