RUBs - This is a bullshit system to be added to your rent with. This is basically saying “on top of what you’re paying to use, you’re to pay what EVERYONE else in the building uses!” even if it’s divided up. I get fucked over every winter for example, because I use electric heaters in my apartment and nothing gas-related. I’m still smacked with $48 ~ $62 of usage, despite that. This raises my rent up and makes it variable.
No-Bite Management - Management who lets nearly everything go, despite them trying to sound strict. You may be in a bit of a rivalry with a neighbor who likes slamming things or having loud music, obviously breaking lease agreement, who makes you wonder why they’ve gotten away with it as long as they have. You record, you report but management does next to nothing. They tell you to your face that the only way they can move forward, is a police report. Now that kind of thing should be reserved for more escalated and involved cases, not something management could deal with when they were the ones who made up the terms of the lease agreement.
Pets - From experience, people are AWFUL with their pets. Mostly dogs, I’ve never seen anything go wrong with cats, unless the owners don’t care enough to let them run around until they’re kidnapped or ran over. But dogs, they just let them go and go with the barking. Not to mention the dog shit on the ground they refuse to pick up.
Transparent troll is transparent, a troll and unsuccessful.
Lol, wow. You just keep going deeper.
I’m teasing you a little about the clear chip on your shoulder, but I’m completely serious about the fact that you are broadcasting that chip loudly and that it’s a you problem.
You immediately jumping to the conclusion that anyone ever making a complaint about noisy neghbors is in the wrong is ridiculous. Then your further insistence that anyone complaining about it that wants something done has to be calling for eviction or arrest is even more ridiculous.
Most people just want to be able to be in their house without hearing a domestic dispute through the walls, or without being able to make out exactly what songs their neighbor is listening to for multiple hours every day. The goal is to get that to stop, or at least lessen. The solution to achieve that is “whatever it takes, starting with the reasonable options”.
If, after multiple polite conversations, and maybe even some not so polite ones, the neighbor continues or escalates? The loud neighbor has then chosen the severity of the solution by denying the reasonable ones. If you’ve had a neighbor talk to you about your noise repeatedly, then you were the problem, not them.
You can get a sheet of pads to make cabinets and doors more quiet for like $5. You can wear headphones for your music.
Personally, like I said in my last comment, I wouldn’t escalate past talking to them and the landlord. Historically I’ve lived in complexes large enough that a noisy person could be moved to another unit if the landlord had recieved a ton of complaints, which would be my hope from the landlord at the absolute most absurd extreme. If nothing changed, I’d live with it and curse about it a lot. Probably bang on the wall on egregious occasions. Maybe blast something worse back right up against the wall rarely.
