Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Unfortunately, this type of issue is not typically one recognized by the courts as constituting a breach of the landlord's duty of providing a livable premises. If there was some defect in construction, that might be an exception, but presumably there were building inspections that had to be passed before an occupancy permit was issued. Sometimes in these situations tenants are required to provide carpeting over most surfaces to at least cut down on walking noise, but that doesn't help with toilet flushing, vacuums, kitchen appliances, etc. Unless you are playing overly loud music, tv, etc., or doing something else that would be considered outside the norm of everyday living, you shouldn't need to be concerned about others' complaints. Of course, ironically if enough complaints are made against you the management company might let you terminate early, but there would probably be some financial penalty, such as loss of your security deposit. Also in that circumstance the landlord might sue you for ongoing rent, at least until they found a replacement tenant, which they would be obliged to pursue.
