You have great neighbors, a secure building, and an OK roommate. We’ve been tackling external issues, now let’s deal with you. Here are a couple of things you should do to make the lives of the people living around you better.

If you have children, please don’t let them run loose on common areas such as the lobby or the corridors. Gently remind them that that they can raise all the heck they want to once they’re all in the unit. Until then, they should be behaved.

Follow rules and regulations. If the laundry room rules say that you can only use one machine for a specific amount of time, please do follow it. The last thing other people in the building needs is someone who’s taken up all the washing machines for the last 2 hours.

We’ll be taking other ways to make life better for others in the next post.
