My apartment complex obviously seems to have rules, but I don't think many people that live here follow them. When I moved in I was told there were no dogs allowed and that there was a limit to how many people could live in a unit. I was told that in the one bedroom apartment, the maximum number of people that was allowed was 3 (two adults and a baby, up until the baby was around 1). There is a family that lives behind me in a one bedroom that looks to me like there are six people living there. There are 4 adults- what I assume to be grandparents, parents and then two teenagers. My place is not that big, so I'm not sure how they are managing, but they don't bother me. In fact, I barely know they are there.
Then there are the people who live in the building behind me. The building behind me is two bedroom apartments and I'm sure they have similar maximum occupancy rules (I assume 4- two parents and two children) but there seems to be a lot more living there and they have created quite an eyesore for me to look out my kitchen window. They have lawn chairs set up everywhere, motorcycles in the yard and have even stolen the community picnic table for their own use. And then there are the children. The is quite a bit of lawn space right outside their patio door but for some reason the kids are always right by my front door, playing in the parking lot and screaming. Some of these kids are quite young and yet I don't see the parents anywhere and I am afraid they will either get hit by a car or that they will damage my car in some way. They are running around playing war games and the rocks that line my outside space are always in the road. I'm afraid they are throwing these rocks and if one hits my car, there will be hell to pay.
There is also a no dog policy, yet I just saw them chasing around their runaway dog, while "Dad" was driving his motorcycle around the lawn. What really gets me is that the apartment manager lives two doors down from them and the lease prohibits anything being left outside that is not on their own patio.
I get that management is probably struggling to keep people in the development so maybe they are making some concessions, but you can't enforce the rules for some without enforcing it for others. It makes the development look crappier than it already is and for the people that follow the rules, it will definitely not entice them to continue living here. I do not want to have to go through moving all over again, but there are a lot of things about this place that is considered a deal breaker for me, and looking out my window and seeing a trashy-looking atmosphere is definitely one of them. Not to mention the super thin walls and floors.
Anyone have a one bedroom bungalow I can rent? Somewhere in the middle of nowhere so I don't have to deal with anyone?
