Re: carpet required

Carpeting isn't required by law. But different municipaliteies have noise limits. If you beleive your neighbors are above the legal limit you can call the Department of Housing in your city or whatever agency is in charge of enforcement. If other tenants in your building have compalints about the neighbor, you can lodge a complaint with the landlord regarding the excessive noise.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
