The tenant must demonstrate to the Tribunal that the noise caused by young children is excessive and abnormal

The tenants complain about another neighbouring tenant making disturbing, repetitive, daily noise, which interferes with their peaceful enjoyment of the rented premises. The disturbing couple moved into their housing above the plaintiffs' in May 2014 with their 2½ year old child. The tenants below report the various noises that disturb the peaceful enjoyment of their housing, which are linked to the couple's young child, which cries, weeps at night, runs from one end of the housing to the other, jumps up and down repeatedly, throws objects around or causes them to drag on the floor to the point of making the chandeliers below tremble. The child has advanced in age since arriving in the housing in 2014, and so it is becoming more active and noisier than before.
