Read full description

A noise entry is described by type of the nuisance, starting with neighbours not sticking to periods of rest regulations, through to the construction side across the street. If this nuisance was not there before you moved in your flat, the value of your flat is decreasing. The tenant has the right to claim compensatory measures in monetary form. When it comes to acute nuisance, the tenant has to take measures, e.g. interrupting working, closing windows, or even leaving the flat. At this point you should add a noise entry in this app. The actual time is saved straightaway. Subsequently add the duration of the nuisance. Additionally you can select a witness right from your contacts, who can confirm the nuisance. With an extra feature of this app you can get the signature of the witness to complete his/her testimony, which is appended to the protocol automatically. In case that you are already keep the minutes in another protocol, you can import the entries through a variable template. Please keep in mind that you are not allowed to redurce your rent by yourself without a legally binding arrangement. Inform yourself about the legal basis, browse the internet or apply to your lawyer. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, suggestions or criticism.
