I sent my fourth work order (the first one was sent in November of 2023) for this issue, to the apartment maintenance team where I live ~~~ "The security light fixture on the balcony of building 2, facing building 4 is misdirected into my bedroom window. This is a SECURITY LIGHT that was directed to the sidewalk going to the pool. I really do not need security in my bedroom! Please redirect it. This is my fourth request. It is a simply thing to do...

Floors, squeak, and make noise no matter the age.
Explain that noises from the floor, occasional banging, walking, phone conversations are normal apartment living noises. Compare it to a house where there are shared walls.
Explain that sharing walls as part of apartment, living. Go on to say that noises such as screaming, loud music after a certain time, loud parties, excessive banging for over in 10 minutes, is unreasonable.
If noise levels are considered unreasonable, and it’s during office hours, tell him to call the office. Let you guys handle it from there. If after office hours, they will need to call the police.
Explain that you cannot guarantee quiet because there are shared walls. Explain that their neighbors most likely are hearing them too.
Reiterate what is beyond reasonable
Now thats I said that- Use their entitlement and lease agreement against them. I would see if or create a policy on how noise complaints must be handled per company policy.
I’d then, send out an email regarding the procedure and steps required for you(the team) to address these noise complaints. Such as a police report needing to be filed with the complaint, or audio/ tangible proof. Put the responsibility back on them to provide evidence, and do the work to help you accurately resolve their problem.
Once it’s in black and white, plus you notified them of the process- quote the policy and that you notified them. And if they fail to follow the steps required, then there is nothing you can do.

Good Morning and Happy RPM Week!
I am wondering if there is anyone who is using a ai chat, that will nurture leads, that integrates with Entrata AND works well with podded communities that have 1 central leasing office.
We currently use Resmate and they are amazing with our communities that have 1 property working out of the leasing office, but how we are mainly operate is 2-5 communities that works out of one leasing office. So it creates more...
