Don't be a nuisance neighbour
Make sure you're a good neighbour.
You'll have lots of independence and freedom while you're living in private accommodation.
But it's important to make sure that your lifestyle doesn't upset your neighbours.
If you're living in a terraced house the noise from your late night parties and stereo can easily disturb your neighbours.
If they complain to the Noise Nuisance Team at the council, you may get fined.
