It is indeed about respect and appreciation and sense of responsibility. I'd have problem with them sitting in the entrance porch if they'd be quieter, there's old people live in the block, if they didn't set fire to the cieling, scratch names in the polished floor tiles, spit on the door handle, stick matches in the lock, smash the light off the wall and wire it to the door handle.
If they didn't i'd have no problem.
