Today's rant is on apartment complex woes. For all of us who currently live in an apartment or have in the past, maybe you can relate.
While there are many advantages to living in an apartment complex, there are a few things that we have to be prepared to contend with. Here are the top 3 that come to mind:
Someone in your parking space - If you have lived in a complex where visitor spots are minimal then it hurts all the more to come home from a long day and need to take a long walk because someone is in your parking space. There is not really much you can do. Even if you call to have them towed, you may have to deal with an ugly confrontation later.
Dogs not on leashes and not cleaned up after - Most of us love dogs. However, when someone is out and their dog is not on a leash and a dog runs up and jumps on you or your child, that is not always a pleasant experience. Not all people love dogs and some kids are afraid. Or, the dog is not always friendly, even though most are. The other part is when owners do not take the time to clean up after their dogs and you have to walk with your head down most of the way so you can avoid something hidden in the grass.
Ridiculously loud music - We all love good music but after certain hours it can be tough. This one needs no further explanation.
Again, there are many advantages to living in an apartment complex, especially, if the place is well managed. However, the woes can become overwhelming at times.
How do you handle them? Post your advice and experience below.
