I know this is a long thread, please bear with me.
Okay, I have a story to relate to you fine gents and seek your advice. The drainage line broke in the central air conditioning unit in my apartment, and we put in a work order to have it fixed. Today, the super came into our apartment to have a look at the line, which is slowly draining a pool of water that is seeping through the carpet in our hallway. As soon as the man entered the apartment, he became noticeably uncomfortable and asked where the leak was. We told him, and he proceeded to look at it.
His discomfort, I’m sure, came from seeing the shot out target silhouettes which adorn our wall; I bring them home every time I go to the range. After about six minutes of looking at our AC unit, he approached me. I inquired as to what was wrong with the AC and if anything needed to be done by us. He ignored my question and asked me if I had any firearms in my apartment. I was surprised, to say the least, and told him that yes, I do indeed own several firearms. He asked me what kinds of guns I own, and I responded by informing him that this information was none of his business, and inquired as to what any of this had to do with. He did not answer my question, but simply said that the owners of my apartment complex want to promote a “safe environment†and that they “do not condone violence.†I had to choke back a laugh, because there have been several thefts committed by homeless people in our complex and my roommate’s car was even broken into several months back. He looked very disheveled, and told me that nobody was going to be able to do anything about my air conditioner leakage until Friday.
Well, Friday came and went and I still nobody has contacted me as to what will be done with the air conditioner. This morning, on the clip by my door, I found a form letter. The letter was written by the building manager, a guy who does not live on site. He said that the property management company does not condone firearm ownership and that they would prefer that I not keep my guns on the premises. I called the management offices this afternoon, and told them very bluntly that my guns weren’t going anywhere. I reminded them that there is NO clause in the lease which says ANYTHING about the prohibition of gun ownership on the property. The woman said, in a stupid and condescending voice, that the company wants to promote a “safe environment.†I asked her what that meant exactly, and she could give me no answer. I cited the break-ins and thefts recently, and again she had nothing to say. She only said that I would be contacted on Monday with more information. I emailed them a scanned copy of my lease, and they have yet to get back to me.
My lease ends on May 31st, and I am moving back home significantly sooner then that, probably by about the 17th or so. Should I just wait for them to make the next move, and hope that because their case is NON-existent that nothing will come of this. OR, should I ask my dad to contact his attorney and advise us?
Any help yall can provide would be greatly appreciated.
