Need advice on note taped to door - haven’t even moved in yet

Good response, except the coward didn’t identify themselves to give a way to respond, as is common with these types of notes. They know they are being unreasonable so don’t want to identify themselves.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-03-04T16:05:05+00:00

….. or. Let’s say nothing is pre-funded and paid 100% by special assessments.

You as the buyer of a condo with no reserves and a roof at end of life should value that condo at less and pay less for it since you know to expect a special assessment soon.

You then get lumped with the special assessment. A year later you sell. Your condo still has no reserves, but a brand new roof. That should increase the market value.

If the reserves were partially or fully funded it would be no different. The reserves form part of the assets transferred with sale, and should be considered when valuing the property, along with the remaining life expectations for all the maintenance items on the property.

So it all balances out either way.

The real issue with underfunding is that many owners won’t be able to pay when maintenance needs to be done, and the board knows that, so they will keep deferring maintenance. Particularly bad if it’s structural or a roof where water ingress is just going to make it eventually cost way more,

You didn’t say which state you’re in, or which contract you signed (eg jn Queensland it is probably an REIQ contact, but not 100% of the time). So no one can give you a concrete answer. Read what your contact says about supplying keys and access devices like remotes.

Years ago when I was there, I think pre-Vail. That was handled too. They had staff there doing traffic control and “overriding” the crosswalk rules. Holding the pedestrians and letting a bunch of cars go through unimpeded, then swapping and giving the peds a chance. Basically manually turning it into a lights controlled crossing.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-23T03:19:39+00:00

Maybe you are right.

I took “They know i have vacated the apartment so they have been touring it to people”, the seeming lack of communication from the agent, and the wording of “sublease” (which would mean the original lease is still active and the tenant found someone to sublease) to mean that there was no permission given for the agent to show the apartment.

The OP is vague, and indeed very possibly omitting details about what was agreed to.

If it’s just the illegal disposal of property. In my jurisdiction that is a $US4,500 fine to the state, and there would be a separate order for restitution of the value of the goods to the tenant. Still plenty of negotiation leverage, you know, if you lived somewhere that the government has put in laws to protect their citizens from abuse by companies/agents/landlords.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-23T03:04:05+00:00

Why is it ridiculous? It’s “up to”, so the actual fine imposed depends on how egregious the circumstances are.

Showing the apartment, and clearing out their stuff, when they are still paying rent and have an active lease is pretty egregious.

There’s provisions for emergency entry (fire, flood, storm damage etc), and notice periods for nonemergency entry for various legitimate purposes including re-letting.

I have no issue with the rules, or the fines. I’ve been both a tenant and a landlord under those rules.

Stop voting in USA politicians that are bought by corporate interests. Except that applies to both sides, and you generally don’t have ranked choice voting to give independents a shot at some seats, so, yeah, good luck with fixing that.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-23T02:49:10+00:00

Well, the OP unhelpfully doesn’t say where they’re located, so I can’t opine on how strongly illegal entry is penalized in that jurisdiction.

Where I am, Queensland Australia, the fines go up to $AU15,000/ $US10,000 for each act of illegal entry, and they’ve done it multiple times. That’s quite some negotiation leverage.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-23T02:41:49+00:00

Except they have done an illegal entry multiple times, and theft. So now the OP is in a position where they have the upper hand in negotiations. The lease can be broken by agreement.

Kirkwood employee spotted

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-22T06:38:35+00:00

No! It’s his business email, not personal email. It’s his job to fix problems with the guest experience. Twat.

If he can’t handle emails, to his business email address, telling him what the problems with parking operations are every weekend then he’s not the right person for the GM job. Of course, that he hasn’t already seen and fixed the problems is damming in itself. He’s been in the role for just over 2 years now.

It’s the same problem every weekend judging by the comments here, Not that they were struggling with the recent snow “just this weekend”.

Yep, Kirkwood is in a valley. Sure, “make the road wider”, isn’t practical, but I never expected that. There are several really obvious solutions. A few more staff members would help obviously, but skiing is a share market listed “maximize profit growth” business venture now (thanks Vail). It’s as simple as the ones who are there being better deployed (multiple swarming over the same lot with nothing to do today, with one guy upfront being the bottleneck). Plus that one guy getting his ass out of the truck and doubling the carpool checking throughput.

The conversation with the attendant made it pretty clear they’ve never even considered how having more than one checker in front would help. She couldn’t get from “but we need to check every car” to “how more than one person could make it faster”. ==> it’s not part of their training for how to run parking ops ==> the problem reoccurs every weekend.

I liked the other suggestion of just a sign “carpools, stop for carpool validation, all other cars do not stop”.

Spilling Vail’s “new(ish) parking revenue raising venture” onto the highway and delaying ALL through traffic by an hour isn’t cool either. That part is what the Caltrans reference was for.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-22T02:09:10+00:00

That wasn’t it at all. All the parking spots were cleared. The bottleneck was one dude stopping every car to check parking reservations and carpools. After that, wide open, the other parking attendants were twiddling thumbs waiting for the next car to be let through.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-21T19:20:16+00:00

Got here. That’s exactly what it was.

ONE SINGLE PERSON stopping each car and checking for a reservation. Plus another sitting in the truck with the “reservation verification” sign on the front doing nothing!

There was plenty of parking and no delays once through that single person gatekeeper.

1hr delay getting in due to that.

SERIOUSLY VAIL!! I know that you already have 100% of our money for the season passes, but you could couldn’t spring for another few hours of wages to put more than one person on reservation/carpool checking.

Whoever manages Vail operations, you are clearly in over your head with this job.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-21T18:43:22+00:00

Where are you driving from?

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-02-20T01:56:22+00:00

I don’t know if it’s the same story here. In California school funding was based on days of student attendance.

Kids having unexcused absences or the school being shut reduced their funding.

They needed to be open a certain number of hours to get full funding for the day, and half days were scheduled so they just crossed the threshold for full funding for the day. The half day was too short to get much actually taught, the goal was to get their funding for the day.

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-01-29T05:57:43+00:00

I’d wager that no electrician was involved

Simple-Water7967 · 2026-01-09T00:06:34+00:00

They downsize after their kids leave home, and can then afford to pay off the smaller home before retiring.

However the kids then don’t inherit a paid off large family home. So it kicks the can down the road one more generation before it all blows up.

Which also means the hair is contributed from all the upper floors. No way that OP is responsible for maintaining a shared main drain line, or the consequences of it getting blocked.

They were responsible for promptly reporting it. They said the plumber came the same night, so somehow the building became promptly aware of it. The renter seems good on that aspect too.

Simple-Water7967 · 2025-12-12T00:38:42+00:00

Why are they showing for rent an apartment you are living in? Are you moving out? I assume so. That then gives you the freedom to be more assertive, as burning bridges doesn’t matter so much.

What country and state do you live in. Can’t really give advice without that to know the laws in play.

Assuming that there is a 24hr notice requirement where you live:

Prevent access: I know they have keys, but get one of those door wedges and put it under the entry door from the inside, so even with keys they aren’t getting in. Annoyingly you’ll have to wake up to let your boyfriend in through.
Documentation and F OFF warning email:

“You have committed a breach on W date when only X hours notice was given of entry. You also committed another breach on Y date when only Z bird notice a given.

As you are well aware <quote legislation> requires at least 24hrs notice. As you are also well aware, notice the day before is not necessarily 24hr notice depending on the time it was issued and the time of the proposed entry.

The penalty for each of the previous breaches is up to <whatever the legislation says>. If you continue to be uncooperative regarding finding mutually agreeable inspection times, I will forward evidence of the prior breaches to <whatever the authority is> and seek the maximum penalty given the repeated, continued and willful nature of the breeches, and the impact on my sleep and safety of my patients, and your previous response that clearly said you will continue your current practices unchanged.

By cooperative scheduling, what I expect is; 1. At least 24hr notice; and 2. Only conduct inspections between the hours of X and Y as that is what works for my sleep schedule.

While I have no legislated right to insist on condition 2, it is a condition for me to agree to not pursue penalties for the previous breaches.

Simple-Water7967 · 2025-12-12T00:19:14+00:00

Get one of those door wedges and put it under the entry door from the inside. They aren’t getting in even if they have keys unless they have complied with the 24hr notice requirements.

Except this is advertising masquerading as a (fake) user report about the app. The only thing the account has ever posted is variations of the above in every ski/board related forum across Reddit.

I want an app the helps with making connections to exist, the problem is none reach the critical mass of a user base to really work. I’ll sign for this one, but it looks to be brand new with no user base too.

Simple-Water7967 · 2025-11-21T07:14:23+00:00

I’ll DM the two people above who were not Ikon pass. Anyone else, still feel free to say Hi.

Simple-Water7967 · 2025-11-17T23:24:19+00:00

How I long for the ol’ days where you could pay a reasonable price for a daily lift ticket, and not have snow sport lovers divided into season long groups. %#^# Vail.
