When was the last time you ever asked or insisted your neighbors to fix anything? Especially neighbors with a stripper pole?
You have no idea how many drugs those people might be on or how many visitors/pimps might carry guns…
Tell ya what, the proper way would be to just skip that step and report it to the landlord, after you conveniently didn’t see it and stepped on one or more of those pointy screws.
They’ll have to get that shit fixed real quick, while your downstairs neighbors will not only have to pay for the damages, but also your medical bills, plus also likely face eviction.
Downtown Seattle, I wrote a note asking our upstairs neighbor to please stop pacing all night wearing boots. Put a rug down, take off boots, something.
I got an odd letter back explaining how he had been making “bad life decisions” lately and was trying to stop.
And I’m like, look one meth addict to another, that’s not what I asked, put a rug down or take off the boots. I am not looking for a cry for help, just a night’s sleep.
I’ll agree that just reporting it to the landlord is the best course of action.
The rest of your comment is ignorant. You talk as if anybody who installs a pole in their house is a drug addict or is pimped out. Then you suggest purposefully injuring yourself over something the installer likely isn’t even aware is causing an issue just so they can be financially impacted and evicted.
Maybe people don’t talk to their neighbours about living problems because of shitty hostile neighbours with ideas like yours?
Maybe you never experienced a ‘friend’s’ home with young children and a stripper pole in the living room, and a full fledged liquor bar in their kitchen.
I really don’t need other people to tell what to expect from a stripper pole, as that’s not even the only place I’ve seen such shit.
Anyways, thanks for your inexperienced advice. I’d rather those sort of people be far away from me.
I’ve asked my neighbor if an arrow I found in the road was theirs (no, but he was happy to take it) and coordinated removal of dead trees on the property line. Those went well.
I was rather stressed and unhappy when a neighbor, after some passive aggressive comments, reported us to the city weed inspector. The weed inspector determined we didn’t have any violations, and we made extra sure to leave our “wild patch” in the front yard and take our time cleaning up leaves after that.
It depends on the leaf-to-area ratio. We have a lot of trees that are large. Even mulched, the sheer volume of leaves would kill the grass. We have about a third of an acre and let a majority grow taller stuff, or where the trees are really dense have a leaf mould ground condition. It is nice to have some walkable area, grass is the lowest maintenance option for that, and keeping the grass alive requires leaf removal.
And they’re not gonna figure out that it was you that reported them, and justifiably get mad about it? Just write a note man, it’s way easier and better for everyone.
Write a note? Are you stupid or something? Are you looking to see how crazy your neighbors are?
Not everyone is as peaceful as you’d expect, they might as well shoot you for looking at them funny.
I’ve had two such incidents in my life, where I tried to do the ‘right’ thing as you suggested, only to be attacked by drug addicts fucked up on whatever the hell.
I learned its a lot easier to contact authorities and landlord, not contact crazy neighbors directly.

Mulch the leaves and spread the mulch back out. It helps keep the dirt fertilized.

Sounds like you’re referring to large trees such as Oak Trees.
This is a natural process, and Oak Trees tend to kill off the grass underneath them anyways, because the trees block much of the sunshine.
Let the oaks be the oaks, rake and mulch the leaves, and spread the mulch over open areas of grass not underneath big trees.
Escalate immediately and antagonize the hypothetically dangerous neighbors.
You’re right that makes way more sense.
Bruh, I said let the landlord deal with it, with a bloody foot and photo evidence. Don’t confront the neighbors directly, you won’t have to…
