Ok there is a large group of young teenagers some that live in my apt building that have taken to constantly?

Question

proping the outer doors open day and night! I have told the apt managers about this and they have done nothing about it. Does anyone have any ideas on what i can do?? All i know is that after 10pm i can call the cops on them because they are extremly loud! Since they have moved in my car was almost broken into and these kids are constantly running in the halls and up and down the stairs, screaming and yelling. This is a security issue and like I said the apt managers are doing nothing. Half of these kids dont even live in the building. I need a little help here I can't have these doors open all hours of the night to let anyone into the building. Any ideas are welcome!! Thanks

Answer 1

I went thru this myself; look at your lease, if there is a sound issue on it makes a point of that issue. Also call the cops over and over again. If the on site security isn't doing their job then call their site supervisor. Look at their patch to see what company they follow. Also contact the owner of the complex not the manager. Contact them over and over again, if these kids are under age and the city has a curfew call the cops on that too try every aspect of the lease on what other tenets are breaking as well as your own rights as a tenet. You can even have a camera looking out your door and take pictures and state to the kids and their parents that you have proof they are breaking the laws. Get a recorder and record the time and then face it toward the noise, when you call the cops and the owner make sure you are in ear shot of their noise, especially if you have a cordless phone or cell to walk near the noise, proof goes further and will allow you to break the lease because they are not following their own regulations, sent written statements of complaint to all directs, the owner, manager and even the home of which the family or families are allowing this make sure they are registered letters they have to sign for so that you know they received them. Yep I have done all of this. My husband worked nights slept days and the kids used my area to play ball, which wasn't a place to play ball in the first place. i know this all sounds harsh, but it worked.

You might want to make friends with your local police who you see patroling the neighborhood. Possibly tell them about the situation and that you don't know what is going on in there, that a lot of people come and go. They will probably do drive by checks pretty often if you let them know how concerned you are.

I hope this helps and you get some relief. :-)

Answer 3

Check your rental agreement to see if there's any disclaimer of the landlord's responsibility about theft/burglary.

If not, contact the landlord (not the apt managers) to let him/her know the situation, mainly about the propped-open doors, with a gentle reminder that they would be liable for burglaries as a result.

Answer 4

Unfortunately if the apartment managers won't do anything about the problem there isn't much hope it is going to get better. If it is at all possible for you to move, do so at your first opportunity and don't worry about breaking the lease, since the managers have not responded to your needs there is no reason for you to worry about THEIR problems.

Answer 5

Call the police or sheriff after 10PM. If no help, go to the chief of police during the day and explain the problem. Good luck!

Answer 6

Indiscreetly in way take their photos! Post them for the police or local college or high school to determine who is who.
