Quiet hours clause

Also called: quiet hours, noise clause

Plain-English definition

A lease or house-rules provision setting the times when residents are expected to keep noise down in and around a shared home.

What quiet hours clause means in practice

In shared housing, noise is the most common complaint and the hardest to prove. A clause naming specific hours and specific behavior gives every resident the same reference point and gives the operator a consistent basis for a first written reminder. Local noise ordinances may set their own hours regardless of what a lease says.

Example

The addendum sets quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM daily and applies to the shared spaces, the bedrooms, and the yard.
