No smell and no noise.

Then you are not open to all pets yet not closing off the possibility altogether....So, for example, one small well behaved dog you may approve  (especially one that a previous landlord says was not a noise, damage or other problem) but a pack of loud unruly ones not so much...And you can refine some of what you are looking for in terms of size, behavior, numbers, breeds, ages (no puppies without house training for me, eg), even spaded/neutered (especially for male cats, etc), references (ie how the owner did with a pet in past places), etc... 

They are really working in the noise of the issue not doing anything meaningful other than hurting tenants if anyone.Before all this came up I'm not sure how many landlords actually knew about the exceptions. 

They also claim she is going out of her way to make noise in her apartment (they share a wall), slamming cabinets, stomping, allowing her friends to hang out in the shared hallway and talk loudly.

The rest is noise.

Let alone the noise, and my experience with laborers is that they show up earlier than they said they would, and often stay later - making lots of noise the entire time.  

Then, she was stupid enough to complain about the industrial noise that my tenants have every right to make.

I was a resident manager, so if I got a complaint about a tenant, I'd go lurking and listening, if it was a complaint about noise, for instance.  

Lord, the noise and how it rattled the house!

Tenants have to expect noise from other tenants, if it's normal living noise.
