Apartment issues fall into two categories: the potentially annoying—like barking pets and stinky smokers—and the potentially dangerous.
—and the potentially dangerous. The former at least has the potential to turn into great cocktail party fodder, but the latter can keep you up at night.
As a tenant, it’s always important to remember that you do have the right to speak up if something feels unsafe or confusing. To answer your questions about apartment safety, we talked to friendly Pennsylvania landlord Eric, who—as every landlord has for this column—offers the welcome reminder that open communication and boundary-setting are the foundation not just of a great relationship, but a great living situation.My neighbor and I share a backyard.
“As a landlord, I like to make rules basic foundations for living in my properties,” he says. “In this case, there is no structure to the common area. First, I would create some simple rules like ‘children are permitted to play in the common backyard until 7:30 pm each night. Adults: please be considerate of appropriate behavior around the children .’ I would also schedule a brief tenant meeting to discuss the rules and get"buy in".
At the end of the day, the space is yours and your neighbor’s. Which means just like him, you have a right to enjoy it the way you like. You seem concerned about this dynamic, but he doesn’t. While you risk appearing “high-maintenance” by bringing this up, you’re also redistributing the load of that concern. And anyway, he may not even have thought about this issue before, so you have no idea how he’ll respond once he does. He may even offer to split a beer after your kid goes to sleep.
