What should I know about noise and balcony-use rules?

Keep noise at a level that does not disturb neighbouring homes, particularly late at night and early in the morning. If you are planning a gathering or installation, confirm the permitted hours and any approval requirements beforehand.

Before placing items on your balcony, check rules on laundry, storage, plants, smoking, barbecues and decorations. Ask whether outdoor furniture, screens or safety netting need approval. Keep drainage clear, secure loose items and prevent watering or cleaning water from falling onto neighbouring balconies.

Never throw rubbish or cigarette ends from the balcony, and keep furniture away from railings where children could climb. Do not drill into the façade or install fixtures without the necessary permissions.

If a noise or balcony issue arises, contact management with the location, timing and relevant details, and seek help without escalating a confrontation.
