My landlord when I tell them we don't have hot water for the third week in a row:

My landlord when Gladaed@feddit.org says their windows aren't up to code on Lemmy:

Literally don't pay rent. If you are not sure about how much rent you can dock ask your local Tenants Union. Make sure to stay in the legal bounds.

More than half of US states don't have a single tenant or renter's union available.

My previous apartment complex was bought out by BlackStone Inc. and within the next year began posting everybody's eviction notices on the front of their mailboxes, which all mailboxes are in a shared area. Dozens of people were evicted due to failure to pay while I waited out my lease, it's not a realistic option to not pay for many people.

Cite the code, I'll even accept IBC.

(WSchVO) 1977 in West Germany. Your pseudo international building code is not international, btw.

Me when I'm privileged enough not to live in the US where the building code is literally cardboard walls and plastic windows.

I don't live there. They asked for an example.

Doesn't change that fact you're standing here on your soap box yelling at people who are probably paying 70% or more of their income for housing that has as much sound proofing as a community pool. In the US your only option is being exploited because the 99% of us don't have any bargaining tools. I don't disagree with the sentiment, but for most people here what you are saying is "go homeless over noise". Most people will not take kindly to that due to how propagandized that subject is.
