Two Questions...?

Question

How would I go about finding out who the owner of a house is that is being rented through a property management company?

Also, is it illegal for an apartment complex to tell you that you can not have tires on your patio?

There is only 4 neatly stacked tired on my patio and my apartment faces a field! No one sees them anyways.

I think they are just trying to pull a power trip!

Answer 1

You can find the owner by taking the address to your local land office. It's a matter of public record. You'll have to read your lease to answer the other question. There may be restrictions on outside storage covered in the lease language.

Answer 2

Read your lease. Our lease for when we lived in our apartment stated exactly what we could and couldn't do to the apartment or your outdoor space. It did state that no car parts could be outside or on the property anywhere. Also you could not change the oil or work on a car there. There were a lot of rules and I understand what you are saying about only having 4 where no one else can see them but some would take it over board. If someone sees yours well they might put 15 out there and so on. It is really to protect everyone that lives there. If there is nothing in your lease about what you can and can't have outside then I don't think they can say much. I think for your first question that you could ask the company but I don't believe they have to disclose information. I believe that is why the owners use that property management company so that they stay anonymous and not have to deal with the tenants one on one.

Answer 3

You can find a property owner from tax records.

Your landlord is worried that if they give the ok for the tires, next there will be a couple of axels, then a hood & some doors. Next thing they know there’s an old car in the yard. I’m not saying you would do that, but in the minds of the land lord, the potential is that the “mess” could grow.

Answer 4

I know this may sound dumb but having tires like you do on your porch poses a potential fire hazard and a breeding ground for critters, ie roaches, mosquitoes, and rats etc. take this scenario, if someone or kid wanted to vandalize or cause trouble, they can toss something on fire at the tires and cause a massive inferno in no time. in short it is a insurance thing with your apartment complex authority, so in order to avoid a unnecessary fight with your apartment manager and possibly neighbors, I would make them disappear real quick like because you and your hubby are going through enough right now with ttc and stuff to have to worry about petty things like tires causing problems if you know what i mean. if you want to know who is living in another apartment, or complex, go be friendly and ask them, who knows you might gain another new friend. good luck sweety

Answer 5

The property has to be titled to someone, and taxed in that event the county recorded of deeds should have the information
For part two, get a piece of plywood cut in a circle about the same diameter of the tires, place that on top, get one of those cheap picnic waterproof table clothes and drape on top. tuck the corners under the tires, or the whole bottom edge, you no longer have 4 tires on your patio, you have a decorative patio table. Out of sight, out of mind.

Answer 6

You're lease should say something regarding what you can/can't have on it, but you're right, apartment management DO have power trips, and they nickel-and-dime you for anything they can. If your lease doesn't say anything, let 'em have it and tell 'em you're not movin' 'em till they can show you something that you signed that says you agreed not to do something like that. Of course, they won't have anything. They're just bored I guess.

Answer 7

owner's name you look it up in the property appreiser's office (on the web) for your city, county web site.

tires on the balcony there has to be a description of what can and cannot be placed in the porch in your condo documentation papers given to you when you moved in the building
