woooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! we threw a party so fucking rad that we got evicted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, that's not exactly the whole story.
this is:
we threw a party in honor of bangs brooke's mom's birthday, who was visiting in town, and curly brooke's birthday, as well, on saturday night at 11 pm. there were maybe a max of 30 people there at a time.
so i get a call at around 2:30 am from my landlord, and she asks me if we're having a party. i decide it'll be better not to lie, and I say yes, that we're having a few friends over for brooke's mom's birthday (absolutely true). she says the police called her to let her know that we were having a party (...right...), and that she's coming over.
We immediately turn off the music, and shoo everyone, with the exception of about 10 people, out, and i call her back to apologize and let her know that we've turned off the music and made everyone leave, and she starts screaming about how she has to come over because she doesn't appreciate getting calls at 3 am, and IUWOEIULKJ OIUE LKU LIWEII[ROQ LKJPAOIUEYRIJ3NLRIUKJNSN IOOIUWE KJR OSIR APOWEI RLWKJE RL.AWKERL.IAWJE .LRKAJW L.FKJ ELKIUOWIENKRJHKL.,MNBGUJKJENM KJH KJOIULKENHRGKWKJE ,SM DFIWJWLKEJ RW *CLICK*!
some people start cleaning, and jack and i wait outside at the front to greet our landlords. they arrive, pass us by without saying a word, and barge in, where they find no party, scream some jibberish, and storm outside. but before they leave, they decide to spray out the outdoor fireplace with a fire already nearly dead from rain with a water hose at full blast. at every angle. for five minutes straight.
and then we proceeded to get hammered.
come monday night, we get a knock on the door, and heyo! it's maria. she doesn't say a word, just hands brooke two envelopes and leaves.
enclosed was this gem of a letter. add the [sic] where applicable...and boy is it.
"I am enraged by the events that look place in the early hours of April 15, 2007, where I was contacted by my neighbors because of the noise level. It is absolutely unacceptable that my neighbors are being disturbed at 2:30 AM by your loud music, yelling, and screaming. There is no paragraph in the lease that gives you any rights to throw parties that disturb the neighborhood. Furthermore, I do not appreciate receiving calls from my neighbors at 2:30 in the morning because my tenants do not know how to behave in a residential neighborhood. This is totally unacceptable. You have been told upfront that there is no throwing of parties in this building. As such I think that the best solution will be that your lease will be cancelled and May 31st, 2007 will be your last day in the apartment."
first, there's nothing written about parties at all in our lease. sure, we weren't given permission, actually, i take that back. she once said something to the extent of, "you can have people over, we just don't want any strangers walking in. don't open the doors and let everyone in. just people you know." they have a pretty strict rider (no pets, etc), so if they wanted to outlaw parties, they should have put that on there, as well as how many people constitues a party or the maximum number of people we can have in the house at one time.
second, in another part somewhere, she states that she told us that our courtyard hours are strictly from 10 am to 10 pm. ludicrous. a. she never said a word about a curfew, b. even if she had, she couldn't prove it.
rude.
third, i doubt her neighbors in greenpoint could hear our party. perhaps she's protecting other tenant's identities...we're pretty sure they're people in the nit upstairs in the front building. fuckers.
we haven't decided if were going to fight it or what, i think we're better off not living under people like that. i want ragers, man! i want fun! no, in all seriousness, i just don't want to have to walk on eggshells in my own home, but at the same time, our place is fucking amazing, and we love it here. we're gonna try to talk to her soon, but i honestly dont' know what good it'll do. but anyway, yep! that's about it.
just working for days straight (tomorrow is my first day off since last sunday), figuring this shit out.
i'm tired!! |
