Apartment Life #435

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 27 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 27 years here in a weekly blog post.

This week the residents got a warning from my apartment manager. I have one of those really small washers that you can fit a few shirts in to wash it. It plugs into the outlet and has one hose to drain the water. You have to fill the water with a pan. It's not like I'm not hooking a hose to the faucet to fill it with water. This seems a bit extreme. It had to be maintenance that told her about it when he was here replacing my bathroom faucet. I know a few other residents that have the same type of washers.

Oh, and the laundry room they are talking about has 1 washer and 1 dryer for 88 apartments to share.

This is the kind I have. It's small. I couldn't get a good picture of mine in the bathroom. A lease violation warning for this?

I looked over my 60 page lease and this is the only thing I could find about a washing machine...

"Residents are required to receive written approval from us prior to replacing or altering any of these appliances." And washing machine is listed as one of the appliances. 

Am I getting rid of it? Hell no. Next time there's an inspection I'll put it in my room and put a blanket on top of it. Go ahead and try to prove I still have it. Idiots.

And before someone asks if I'm going to try and fight this. There's no way to fight it. They would just evict me if I tried. We have something here called a, "30 day- No Cause" here in Nevada, meaning they can evict someone in 30 days for no cause, just because they want to and the judges let them do this.

 There's no way to fight it. After your 30 day notice, the Constable will put a 3 day and then a 24 hour notice on your door. After 24 hours the constable comes back with maintenance, tells you to grab as much as you can right now and they make you leave, they change the locks and tell you that you have to make an appointment to come back and get the rest of your belongings. And this is all legal. It's not like it is in California and other places where it takes months to evict someone.

On Friday we heard a police siren going on and off up and down my street. So, I looked outside and there was just the one police car. My daughter went outside and got this video of it all starting while I took pictures and video from my bedroom window. 

It wasn't until I started uploading the pictures that I noticed my daughter and grandson standing against the sound wall behind this police car watching what was going on. lol This was the first police car to show up. More showed up very fast. My daughter talked to one of the officers out there and they said they were looking for a white male, in a white shirt weighing around 180lbs. They didn't say what they were looking for him for though.

The police were looking, they had 2 K9 dogs, the police helicopter was flying overhead, and police were walking up and down my street, alley, and the street behind this apartment complex. 

Police walking with one of the K9 dogs.

Police were parked on my street, my alley, the alley across the street, and one street over. I counted at least 9 police cars in my area for this. I have to wonder what the guy did to warrant such a large turn out?

They looked and looked, they were here for almost 2 hours searching for this guy. But they never found him. 

They stood around talking for a while and then they left. My daughter and I think whoever it was, ran down into the tunnels. But the police never looked there.

The high this week was 110F/43C

The low this week was 84F/28C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
