First, regarding noise: please keep noise levels down, especially between 10 PM and 7 AM. We have other tenants who value their quiet. For guests, occasional visits are fine, but no extended stays without prior discussion. Also, tenants are responsible for minor maintenance like changing light bulbs or unclogging small drains. Anything major, of course, call me.
English
首先，关于噪音：请保持噪音水平，尤其是在晚上10点到早上7点之间。我们有其他租户很重视安静。对于访客，偶尔来访是可以的，但未经事先同意不得长期居住。此外，租户需负责一些小的维修，比如更换灯泡或疏通小排水管。任何大的问题，当然，请给我打电话。
