[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three times now in the last 2 months, my landlord has texted both me and my roommate after 11pm at night. She texted us in a group chat tonight at 11:15pm telling us that she received a fine in the mail from the homeowners association saying that there was a dog tied up and barking outside all day and asking u if we knew anything about this. Last weekend, my boyfriend stopped by for the afternoon and had his dog with him. We aren't allowed to have dogs in our condo so he kept her in her dog box in his truck. She barked ONE TIME and he went outside to walk her around a bit within 2 minutes of her barking. She has never been tied up outside and definitely hasn't been tied up and barking ALL DAY outside. I told her all of this and she continued texting me for 20 minutes telling me she would contact the homeowners association on Monday and also reminding us "no dogs are allowed inside the house".

I don't think it's okay for her to be texting us after 11pm at night. I find it highly unprofessional on her part to even be texting us, let alone texting us after 11pm at night. My roommate is equally annoyed and wants to send her an email saying that any issues going forward need to be sent to us via email and to please not call/text us after 9pm which I feel is reasonable.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?[/quote]

OP you're wrong for being bothered by this and you're in the wrong because you're not understanding that the landlord had to get a nastygram from the city because of your actions or the actions of your boyfriend.  You didn't stop to think that it was rude on your part to cause her to receive the notice right?  You were only bothered about the fact that she dared reach out to you at - OMG 11PM.  Like you didn't already have your phone pasted to your face.... who are you kidding. you're using the time as a way to deflect your own actions.

In this age of constant communication, it has now become totally acceptable and almost expected quite honestly that people reach out to you via text for all sorts of matters at any time of day.    That said you could have easily shut it down by telling her that you would deal with the issue in the morning and follow up with a phone call or email.  She would have gotten the message.

next time don't be go against your lease and you won't have a problem. [/quote]

Op here: I live in a small town, she didn't get any notice from a city. The homeowners association apparently sent her a letter but when I asked her today for a copy of it, she completely ignored that request so I'm doubting her story.

Also, no I don't think it was "rude" on my part at all. Dogs bark ALL THE TIME. She barked because a truck drove by and he immediately went out to calm her down. [/quote]
