Two Stories Regarding Disrespect of Privacy and Admited Criminal Acts

Both of these stories are involve two tenants, Tenant A and Tenant B, who are both neighbors which had been on rather poor terms. It was after these following events that the two tenants got to be on amicable terms and shared the information herein. One of the tenants was unavailable so I wasn't able to corroborate the story with her.

That said, the tenant who told me these stories is asserts that they happened and that she was told the truth by her neighbor. As soon as the other tenant becomes available I'll try to check the veracity-until then I'm leaving this statement as a caveat.

Store One: Disrespect of Privacy

Tenant A had filled out an application for an apartment in San Diego that she was considering; in this application, the Management or Manager at the Falls at Montrose was listed as a reference for Tenant A. At some point the apartment management from San Diego must have called the Falls to check to verify the tenant's qualities and status. The Manager construed that Tenant A had intended on moving out.

In a conversation with Tenant B, the Manager mentioned that Tenant A would be moving to San Diego (or that she would be possibly be moving to San Diego) in the context of the dispute between both the Tenants. Tenant B had not known this as Tenant A had not told anyone at the Falls that she had applied to another apartment.

Later, Tenant B mentioned it to Tenant A who was incredibly surprised that her confidence and expectation of privacy was betrayed.

Story Two: Manager Claims to Have Vandalized Tenant A's car

In another conversation with Tenant B, the Manager made two claims:

1. That they had peed on Tenant A's car
2. That they had put something in the gas tank of Tenant A's car to ruin it

While it's unlikely that either of these happened (in fact, Tenant A says their vehicle's gas tank door can only be operated from within the car) and that the Manager was being serious, this in no way appropriate. Moreover, the Manager was aware of the dispute between the two tenants and a joke like this is in no way constructive in mediating the dispute. As much as the Manager can claim to have been joking or acting in the capacity of a friend, there's no way to ignore her role as the property manager and the responsibility she has of resolving tenant issues.

In short in these two stories, the Manager not only violated a tenant's expectation of privacy but tastelessly joked about vandilzing property.

Animal Urine and Feces

Upon visiting the Falls at Montrose, you'll notice plenty of this:



which I posted in the first post.

This is a chronic problem at the Falls, so much so, the Management acknowledges it on each monthly flier they distribute. Despite warnings of fines, one a given weekend you'll see this:







Just in walking out to my car. These photos were taken over the course of a weekend on the grass at the Falls and on the side walks on Valderas and within the falls itself.

A tenant remarked to me that they have often complained and sent photos to Management asking for specific action be done to clean up feces and urine. Management has never responded to her emails and the feces and/or urine seemingly persist with no action being done.

Now I personally never noticed marks of urine, but the tenant alerted me that the ever-present splotches I see on the walkways of the Falls are in fact urine. The tenant contact management several days ago with this photo:



Management has not replied, let alone cleaned it. In fact, the number of these splotches along the walkways is alarming. While it's at first the pet owner's responsibility, it is next the responsibility of Management to maintain the grounds and develop better countermeasures to this behavior. None of which is seemingly being done.
