And I love it!
A bit of background: I work for a storage company. All of our properties are gated with limited access (a set time period every day, rather than 24-hour). Now, our gates open up 3.5 hours before the office does, and close 3-4 hours after the office does (office closes an hour earlier on weekends). We also have a gate system, so we can tell when you come in and when you leave.
Most of our drive-up units have 8 foot wide doors, but some have 4 foot wide doors. One section with both is a pain to get to, as you drive into the gate, and immediately do a u-turn around a group of bollards into a dead-end section two cars wide between the fence and a building. In this section, the small doors are first, with the larger ones at the end. /background
We have a gentleman (term used loosely) who is renting the first unit in that section. Very frequently, not every day but almost, we will come into the office, and see this dude's car in front of his unit. And the next 3-4 units in the row.
We have had customers renting units 2-6 call us and complain that they couldn't get to their unit, and they were very upset about it. So, bossman tells us that if we see dude's truck, but don't see dude, we get to call and tell him to move his truck.
I got permission this morning to leave the final warning: if you leave your truck here again, it will be towed with no warning, and at your expense. Well, about 15 minutes after my lovely ultimatum was left, I see dude at his truck! Well, not being completely soulless (I only dye my hair red, and my brunette roots are showing) I inform dude that he can't leave his truck here if he's not. Dude replies that he was here, he was just asleep in his truck.
Say what? That, boys and girls, is the lovely sound of someone shooting themselves in the foot. You see, unless you are residing in an apartment on the premises, that is illegal. It is in the lease that every rental tenet in the state of Georgia must sign. You can not live on the property. Period. Full stop.
So, I took my leave of dude, and told bossman of this development.
Dude is now going to be evicted, just as soon as we finish letting him dig his hole.
The sad news is that the eviction process takes like six months.
