Apartment Manager Adventures

One day, while my wife and I were on our way out the door to go shopping, I heard a faint high pitch noise coming from inside the building. I didn’t think much of the noise at the time, but after a few hours of shopping, I noticed the noise was still there when we returned home. 

After unpacking our groceries, I walked through the building to investigate the noise. After a few brief minutes, I discovered which apartment the noise was coming from. Our apartment is on the first floor, and the one making the noise was all the way up on the third floor. I listened at the door and could hear the high pitch noise ringing loud. I could also hear a strange popping noise.

I knocked on the door… - No answer. I knocked louder… -Again, no answer. I then pounded the door so hard it felt like I was going to knock it off its hinges. I heard someone stirring inside. Now I’ve seen a lot of weird and unexpected things being an apartment manager, but I could not have guessed what I was about to see.

When I was younger we had a balcony where my brother and I would store our bikes and skateboards and toys. One morning my mom heard some noise on the balcony and opened the curtain to find a man using a hack saw on the chains that had our bikes locked up to the balcony! This man was stealing our bikes!!!! My mom chased him off, but I have never forgotten what happened.
Being on site apartment managers of the building, we try to be alert and pay attention to unusual noises. Early one morning, I heard a ruckus on our balcony and those memories came flooding back. I just knew there was going to be someone out there stealing all of our snow removal tools and yard tools!

So I stormed to the balcony fuming mad and ripped back the curtain ready to catch the thief red handed (I intended to give him a good scare by yelling at him) when all the sudden something surprised me and my breath was taken back!….

Hello, I go by the name “Lady Landlord” on this website and I’m the lady of the house. You can view all of my entries by clicking the “Written by Lady Landlord” link in the categories section on the right side of the main page. I’ll be posting little stories here and there when I have time, so keep an eye out for my updates between my husbands entries.

There is a doormat I have seen before that says something about how “Every third salesperson who knocks on this door will be shot on site!” then, below it says, “The second one just left”. It is stories like the one I’m about to tell you, that makes me wish we could post such a sign in our building.
