Regarding your question about verdicts on lease termination due to noise disturbances, I've found several relevant verdicts:
A 2024 verdict directly addresses this issue where a landlord terminated a lease due to noise from a tenant's child with infantil autism. The court found that the noise was significant enough to substantially disturb other residents, making the tenant's relocation necessary. The court referred to the General Housing Act § 81, paragraph 1, no. 5 and § 85, paragraph 1, no. 5 concerning good order in the property.

Several housing board decisions show the progression of sanctions that can lead to termination:
-
First step is typically a warning, as seen in a 2025 case where a tenant was warned for disruptive behavior including nighttime shouting and basement disturbances. The board determined this violated General Housing Act § 80 and § 81, meaning continued violations could lead to conditional tenancy or termination.

The next level is making a tenancy conditional, as demonstrated in multiple cases:
- A case where excessive noise including music, shouting, and door slamming led to a conditional tenancy for one year. Any further violations would allow termination: Lejemål gøres betinget grundet støjende adfærd og tilsidesættelse af husorden
- Another where unacceptable noise from a tenant resulted in a conditional tenancy: Lejeforhold gøres betinget grundet støjende adfærd
- A combined case involving both noise and smell nuisances: Lejer dømt for støj og lugtgener: Betinget lejemål
-
When disruptive behavior continues during a conditional period, the lease can be terminated, as referenced in: Lejemål gøres betinget grundet støjende og utryghedsskabende adfærd
These verdicts establish that landlords must follow a process that typically includes:
- Documented warnings to the tenant
- Evidence of continued violations despite warnings
- Demonstration that the noise substantially affects other residents
- Following proper legal procedures under the Housing Act or General Housing Act
The verdicts show that Danish housing law balances tenant rights with the rights of other residents to reasonable peace and quiet in their homes.
