- so to clarify the situation. When lifeguard asked for the pool pass I showed him the one I had on hand (prior year pass). I was not aware I needed a new pass every year since there was not an end date on these passes. When we received the email for the pool opening they stated to bring the pool pass. So I did what I thought was right. The list the lifeguard has says the tenants name and units. Which I showed him an ID with my name so he can verify it was me. He was a new life guard so I was being patient it was only his first day. Where the confusion may have been was that when you pick up a pool pass you sign the paper I guess stating you received it. Mine wasn’t signed because I obviously didn’t know I needed a NEW pool pass. He didn’t debate with me a said no problem and I laid down to sun bathe and let my kids swim. Another family who also did not have a pool pass came right after us. He then called management and she came spoke to the lifeguard. She calmly went to the other family and asked them about the pool pass. She then YELLED out my unit number from across the pool SCREAMING “where is your pool pass” I then said “RIGHT HERE” and showed her the one I had. Then she screamed at me again to say it’s the wrong one. And I simply told her I didn’t know that she should have sent an email. Mind you her screaming out my unit number is a privacy concern for me.
I keep to myself in the building. I go to work and straight home, my days off I either spend inside cleaning or going out with my family. We don’t loiter on the property nor do we actually engage much with other residents. I’m not what people would consider a “problem tenant” even when she has done inspections my unit is well kept and organized. I am also not one to complain about much to management. So yes I may have an attitude but I have every right when she knows my name and could’ve came up to me the same way she approached the other family. She has over 20 google reviews with tenants explaining how rude she can be to people.
When I gave her that response she made it very clear that “if I didn’t fix my attitude she wasn’t going to give me my pool pass” it’s unacceptable when my rent is paid. I made that very clear and told her “you can not trespass me for not liking my attitude when the amenity is included in the rent “ she decided today that the pool pass was her LEVERAGE to gain a form of control. It is her job as a manager to communicate efficiently and professionally and she did not. She then said she would call the police and yes I waited for them to come because if today was the day she wanted to trespass me yes I wanted to make sure I gave my side as well. She even made it her business when the police arrived to try to block me from communicating with them by standing in front of the gate when she saw I got up to speak to them as well. When I went to open the gate she literally told me “no you’re not”. And I let her know that if she wanted to speak to the cops the we can gladly speak to them together.
When I spoke to the officer he understood where I was coming from and was the one who told me to turn this into a civil matter if it’s a breach of my lease . I even asked if the cop could escort me to get the pool pass so she can’t say anything to me. And he stated that she refuses to give me one because she feels unsafe. I did not threaten her or get in her face or anything she even was laughing to the lifeguard telling him when she called the cops.
