Everyone has the right to enjoy their home in peace and privacy. Being a good neighbour is about respecting the people who live around you — including other tenants, the SA Housing Trust, and the wider community.
A good neighbour respects their neighbour's privacy and property, treats people with kindness and respect, does not use offensive language, keeps noise to reasonable levels by avoiding loud music and other noisy activities in evenings and early mornings, and ensures visitors and household members respect the peace of the surrounding community.
