Dogs barking across the courtyard. Trash trucks before sunrise. People rolling carts past your bedroom. Gym music. Pool noise. Parking lot conversations. Someone’s subwoofer vibrating through a wall that looks new but feels paper thin.
Your landlord may not be able to walk in whenever they want, but your lease may give them more access than you realize. Repairs, inspections, showings, and emergencies can all create entry rights depending on the lease and local law.

Before you assume you are fully protected, check what your policy really covers.
