One Reason Why I Hate My Apartment:
The Laundry Room Drama Unfolds

I came home last night to this piece of work shoved in my screen door:
Dear Tenants:

There have been some strange activities taking place in and around the laundry room. People who do not live in our building have been seen coming and going from there, and doing laundry does not seem to be their activity.

To discourage this activity, the laundry room will have shorter hours of operation and will even be closed at times. I am sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.

In addition to restricting the laundry room, I would appreciate you being aware of any strange activity that you see in this area and report it to me, or even the police if you think it necessary.

Please call me with any questions, concerns, or comments.

Thank you,
[Property Manager]
Uhhh... what?

One more time, with feeling:
Dear Tenants:

There have been some strange activities taking place in and around the laundry room.  
Yeah, it's locked every time I try to use it! Strange!
People who do not live in our building have been seen coming and going from there, and doing laundry does not seem to be their activity.  
Oh. ...Wait, what?
To discourage this activity, the laundry room will have shorter hours of operation and will even be closed at times.
So... what are the shorter hours? When will it be closed?
I am sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.  
Relative inconvenience depends on what the shorter hours are.
In addition to restricting the laundry room, I would appreciate you being aware of any strange activity that you see in this area and report it to me, or even the police if you think it necessary.  
WHAT ARE THE SHORTER HOURS?!
Please call me with any questions, concerns, or comments. 
I may have one or two...
Thank you,
[Property Manager] 
Supposedly...

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this. Is this not the point of having a KEY to the door? Could you not first try asking people to keep the knob locked at all times?? And what in the world are these activities that shall not be named???

I am logging onto PadMapper as we speak...
