Perguntas

5 perguntas
Q1

What specific disturbances, damages, or rule violations have the guests caused? (ID: 1929)

The specific issues have been: 1. Excessive noise late at night, particularly on weekends, with loud music and shouting that has disturbed other residents. One neighbor specifically complained about being woken up at 2 AM on a Saturday. 2. There's been some minor damage to the common area hallway carpet near their door – what looks like scuff marks and possibly a small stain that wasn't there before. 3. On one occasion, a guest was seen smoking in the non-smoking designated area just outside the main entrance, which is a clear violation of our building's smoking policy. 4. There's also been an increase in trash left in the common areas, like discarded food wrappers and empty cans, which seems to be a result of the guests.

Q2

Have you previously communicated building rules or guest policies to the tenant? (ID: 1930)

Yes, absolutely. When the tenant signed the lease, we went over the building rules together, including quiet hours (10 PM to 8 AM on weekdays, 11 PM to 9 AM on weekends) and rules about excessive noise and property damage. I also sent out a general building reminder email about a month ago that reiterated these policies, which this tenant would have received.

Q3

What does your lease agreement state regarding tenant responsibility for guest behavior? (ID: 1931)

Our lease agreement clearly states in section 7.3 that 'The Tenant shall be responsible for the conduct of their guests and invitees. Any damage to the property or violation of building rules caused by the Tenant's guests shall be considered a violation of this lease by the Tenant, and the Tenant shall be liable for any costs associated with such damage or violation.' It also mentions that guests are not to cause undue disturbance to other residents.

Q4

Have there been any prior complaints or incidents involving this tenant or their guests? (ID: 1932)

Yes, there have been a couple of minor incidents before, but nothing as significant as what's happening now. About three months ago, there was a noise complaint from a neighbor about loud music, which I addressed with the tenant. They apologized and said it wouldn't happen again. This current situation with the guests is a escalation of that.

Q5

What is the frequency and nature of these guest visits (e.g., overnight, large gatherings)? (ID: 1933)

The guests are visiting very frequently, almost every weekend, and often stay overnight. There have been a few instances of what seem like larger gatherings on Friday and Saturday nights, with music playing late and a lot of people coming and going. It's not constant, but it's become a regular pattern over the last two months.
