I am a student renting a room in a house with five other students. I have
been there for a while now, however, the problem is noise from the room
adjacent to mine. It is clear that the landlord has partitioned one of the
rooms, half of which is now mine - with a single sheet of plasterboard which
joins across the window. Is such a partition complying with building
regulations? It is clear that this is insufficient to stop noise transfer
from the adjoining room and has led to falling out between myself and the
occupant of the other room. I would much rather give the landlord a month's
notice to leave the property, because of the noise nuisance and not cause
further falling out between me and the other tenant, after all, I have to
put up with living with him, however, the landlord is trying to hold me to
the full term of the contract.
