Issue with Building Caretaker (repost from Limerick thread on advice)

Ob1987

Hi all,

Just looking for some advice with an issue in the building where I live.

The management company of the complex have hired a new caretaker who seems a bit ott. I didn't think much of it at first, he was giving out about noise levels and people parking in the wrong spots a bit aggressively but seemed generally harmless.

My flatmates mothers called in a month or so ago with her dog while she was out for a walk and he came out of his office and screamed at her that no pets were allowed in the building. The rule from what I can see is we aren't allowed pets which we don't have but assumed a visit from a small dog would be OK. I went to the building management about this and they seemed uninteresting and said it was a misunderstanding.

After that I resigned to just avoid the guy as much as possible. My boyfriend came to visit last night and park his car in the wrong spot. It wasn't blocking anyone but isn't officially a spot. I know this is against the rules but since he was arriving at ten and leaving at six am (outside this guy's working hours) I thought it would be OK.

This morning my boyfriend came down to all the air let out of the tires, the caps gone and an unofficial letter threatening a clamp next time.

I completely know we were in the wrong for parking there but is this legal?

I should also say I'm renting from a private landlord who owns the flat, not from the building management company so I don't even know how much right this guy has over me.

My landlord has contacted the building management as well but got brushed off similar to the way I have been.

Thoughts and advice appreciated! I'm very concerned about where this could escalate to.

Thanks.

Complaint to the guards ref. Criminal Damage.

However a zealous pursuit of the rules in complexes is very much required as people take the p!ss. Obey the rules and you won't have half these issues now will you?

FFS. Seems like having a bit more respect for the rules might improve your position...

Yeah. Sure maybe the caretaker should have spray-painted on the windscreen too while he was at it and took a sh1t on the bonnett. Cause OP broke a rule.

Seriously? The guy let the air of of the car tyres, that isn't exactly within "the rules" either is it? He sounds like he needs a hiding.

Somebody needs to check the caretakers flower beds.
