We just moved into a four-plex. We live upstairs over a family with two small boys. The boys and mother alike leave trash out in the parking lot, their dog tears into trash they leave on their porch, and never pick it up!
I have asked them before to please clean up after their kids, & dog and they did for a SHORT TIME, not soon after it was back to normal.
When they ask my son to sit for them, he has to clean the house to feel comfortable in their home! When he brought it up to them, they offered him a "lot" more money to clean up the house for them, which he would have done anyway, but hey getting paid to do it is better!
I am not a nit-picky person but I don't like litter. I even pick-up trash on the routes I take to walk our dog, because I don't like looking at it!
So how do I tell them again, and make an impression that will stick with out ruining our neighborly feelings? Do you think it would be out of bounds for me to ask the young ones to pick-up their trash?
