renter question? ok. renter question. I live in a building that has five apartments.

Posted by jones (aka amanda) Mar 2 '12, 05:45

one person lives in each except apt 2, which has two people. both people in apt two have boyfriends who are over *all* the time. I don't care about this; what I do care about is that the boyfriends bring their laundry over (I see them walking in and out every other day with baskets) to do in our building.

we have one washer and dryer for the whole building. I used to be able to do laundry pretty much any night with one load's wait, but now they're *always* in use -- like every night this week from when I got home until 10:30 or so.

the question is this: there's nothing I can do, right? I mean, it's just annoying, it's not over a line what they're doing?

(I really need to do my laundry.)

when they leave the room without seeing you, pull the plug, let them come back to a barrel full of soggy soapy clothes a couple times -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 2, 11:07

I'd check with the landlord. The laundry facilities are a perk for renters. Having "friends of renters" monopolize the machines - TWuG Mar 2, 05:59 2
- yeah, I would prefer not to be seen as a bitch. I could ask karl (the landlord) to mention something without saying it was me - jones Mar 2, 06:15 1
  - As dumb as this is, you almost need to ask them in a supplicating way. - TFox Mar 2, 06:21
they might get a talking to if you told the landlord. my neighbours think I ratted them out to the property managers because not long after I moved in - mafic Mar 2, 05:58
I guess it depends how much it bothers you. I think that's a bigger renter offense than strollers. - TFox Mar 2, 05:57 3

  - Well right, but let's hope they're decent but thoughtless people, not criminal masterminds. - TFox Mar 2, 06:07 1

The landlord would be concerned if he rented to 2 people and now there's four living there ("all" the time and doing laundry - that's pretty much - CrankYanker Mar 2, 05:54
