First 'Rock Band'-related eviction threat issued

If you're going to have an all-night Rock Band session, make sure to invite your neighbors over for some of the fun. Or at least warn them before cranking it up.

According to the Rock Band message boards, two tenants of an apartment complex in Oregon were issued a 10-day notice to stop rocking so hard or move out.

Causational hypotheses on the message boards range from lame non-metal-loving neighbors, poor soundproofing in the ceiling, and good old-fashioned inconsideration.

The image of the notice that appears on the message boards is very blurry, perhaps due to the amount of rock being pumped out of the photographer's speakers as the photo was taken.

One loophole the tenants may want to exploit: it looks like the notice says their lease runs from Sept. 1, 2007 until August 31, 2007. Unless they own a time machine, these contract terms are unrealistic to say the least.

You missed the point. Check the dates.
Leave. Or Comply.

The letter seems to read, "Either follow the terms of your lease (i.e., Stop Being Inconsiderate SOBs) or vacate within 10 days."

The "OR" is bolded and in larger type.

That Loud and Being Inconsiderate?

If you are a tenant that constantly plays loud music/noise to the point that you get an eviction notice, you need to move out. One person's music can be another person's noise, and in an apartment, that is a huge consideration for all tenants.

If these tenants want to continue playing in extreme, I suggest getting a house in the wilderness with a deep basement. That way when they play in the basement and the house collapses due to the extremely loud music/noise, no one will have to worry about burial fees...
