Being a good neighbour

Please be a good and considerate neighbour and be aware and respectful of your behaviour, noise and the use of shared areas.

Sorting out problems

There may be times you don’t agree with your neighbours even if you usually get on well. First try and speak to your neighbour about the issue if it is safe to do so. If you are not able to do this or this doesn’t help, please talk to Assure Rentals.

If you think someone is in physical danger you should call the Police immediately on 111. Illegal activity should be reported to the Police.

If you do report a problem to the authorities, please let Assure Rentals know immediately.

Noise and disruption

Try to not disturb your neighbours with any form of loud noise, including loud music. You should take particular care if you live in a unit. You also need to make sure your visitors do not disturb your neighbours.

If you have problems with loud noise, call the noise control office at your local council. For further information about noise control, please see the link:  https://www.wdc.govt.nz/Community/Safer-communities/Noise-control#:~:text=1.%20Be%20considerate2

Car parking

Cars, trailers and other vehicles must be parked on the concrete areas provided and not on lawns or gardens. Make sure you also keep access routes to your neighbours’ properties clear.

It’s important that you only use the parking bays that have been assigned to you and your visitors. In some cases visitors aren’t allowed to park on the property.

Common areas

There may be a common area within the shared property that can be enjoyed by all residents. It is important that you follow the common area rules:

  • No child under your control can play in areas that could be dangerous to them
  • We encourage you to use the common area(s) but please leave it clean and tidy so the next person can also enjoy using it
  • You can’t block any person’s legitimate and lawful use of the areas
  • No sheds or outside structures are to be erected without prior approval from Assure Rentals
  • You can’t use any part of the common area to plant or maintain your own garden or vegetable patch without prior approval from AS.
