The key to avoiding such unneighborly behavior is for the neighbor to follow the often forgotten “Golden Rule” — You shall love your fellow or neighbor as yourself. The Golden Rule is a general principle of ethics which essentially admonishes neighbors as follows: What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. The landlord also has an obligation to ensure that the conditions do not render the apartment “unsafe and uninhabitable” or prevents the premises from serving their intended function of residential occupation.
