Non-Residents dropping off kids to use complex as summer daycare
I live in what they describe as a “luxury apartment living” (tho I personally find Luxury to be a stretch) and the last few weeks I notice every day there is a group of 5 kids between the ages of 8-14 at the pool with boxes of Poppa John’s. I notice every time I walk to the gym. Also their pizza boxes are never cleaned up and still sitting around the pool every night
Our apartments make us use an app to unlock all doors for the building, pool, gym, basketball courts etc. Last week as I was going to the gym, every day like clockwork one of them would say “I don’t have my fob can you let me in.” (Again we use our phones to unlock). A couple times I agreed just cause it was quicker but by last Friday after multiple times I told them they need to have their phone. They gave me attitude going “bruhhhh it’s not that fucking deep just open the gate”
I didn’t wanna assume they weren’t residents and come off as some Karen. But now when it rains they bang on the gym door to be let in where 1. you must be over 18 or accompanied by adult and 2. They are just running around screaming and being disruptive. I end up leaving my workout early out of frustration.
Mostly I would just ignore these things if they don’t affect my life but today as I was leaving my garage, I’m stuck behind a mini van where all 5 kids get out holding papa John’s boxes and the mini van drives off. They all start standing around the pool gate waiting for someone to walk by. I’m 99% sure now they don’t live in the complex and are being dropped off. I come back shortly to find all the gates to the pool are propped open with rocks.
My question is what should I do in this scenario? My leasing office is usually useless when helping residents with real concerns. We had a neighbor sue to get out of lease recently because she had Live Streamers constantly making noise all hours of the night. After months of reports to the office and them not doing anything, she got a lawyer involved. On one hand it’s not affecting me in my unit. On the other hand it’s the attitude they are giving, the commotion they are causing in the gym and pool, and mostly the fact us residents are paying to use these amenities and the gates require an app for only residents to unlock. What advice would you best give for this situation? I’m getting exhausted dealing with this everyday
