The purpose of this email is to inform you of a concern that we, the tenants in Unit #4 at 2332 Saidel Drive, have regarding a noise issue from Unit #3.
For quite some time, we have been hearing a loud, whirring, and humming/vibrating noise coming from this unit. Not only do we hear it through our walls and the bathroom, but also our bedroom, which makes it very difficult to get a restful night’s sleep. We have tried wearing earplugs and even create white noise, but it does not drown it out or mask it. It is impractical to manage one's sleep this way.

Reporting of Injuries,Diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations of 1995 requires the reporting of work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. The Act applies to all work related activities, but not to all work related incidents.

The NHS and Community Care Act 1990 aims to care for individuals in the comfort of their own homes and not in a care home. Community care is used to describe the different services available to help people manage their physical and mental health problems in the community e.g. nursing or social work support (Mind.org.uk, 2015). The NHS and Community Care Act ensures that people can live in their own home, however the home needs to be adapted to the individuals specific needs because some people need additional things for them to be able to live independently. A service provided could be "meals on wheel" which is a service that is payed for be the NHS privately. They are meals that are delivered to old people who cannot cook for themselves (Google.co.uk, 2015); this is to make sure that these individuals do not starve whilst living alone.

According to the comments, visitors and family had issues with the space, furniture, and comfort of the room. In addition, the visitors made loud noises making the roommate unable to rest comfortably. Although changing the size or spaces in the rooms is a long term process, it is possible to limit the amount of noises which visitors make. Moreover, patients are not satisfied with the discharge process as they are often not provided with enough information and ended up waiting longer.
Statute law also deals with nuisances. The Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (Vic) (“PHWA“) applies to any nuisances that are, or may be, dangerous to health or expressly provides that a nuisance includes any noise that is or is liable to be dangerous to health or noxious, annoying or injurious to personal comfort.
Under the common law, persons in possession of real property (land owners, lease holders etc.) are entitled to the quiet enjoyment of their lands. However this doesn't include visitors or those who aren't considered to have an interest in the land. If a neighbour interferes with that quiet enjoyment, either by creating smells, sounds, pollution or any other hazard that extends past the boundaries of the property, the affected party may make a claim in nuisance.
