Why would any Landlord fail to prohibit the use of subwoofers?
Subwoofers (audio speakers dedicated to a powerful bass reverberation) are an inherent menace to anyone near a person using one. They reverberate through walls at long distances (up to 2/3 of a mile at full power.... in a typical car installation of one). Of course we all have terms in the lease that prohibit general disruptive behavior. But why not pre-empt the use of subwoofers right from the start? Why not zero tolerance? The type of person to use a subwoofer is not the type of person you would want in your unit, even if rent is always on time. How could anyone disagree with that?
So tell me: Why do 99% of leases fail to prohibit subwoofers?

@Harlowe Thrombey that is just covered as part of a noise disturbance clause in most leases. It may make sense to add a specific clause if you have repeat issues, but it would be impossible to add every possible thing to your lease.
