There is nothing wrong with using texts anytime of the day and night.

For those who would be pissed if the text notification goes off after 9pm, turn off text notifications when you go to bed. You can still have the phone ringer on (they are separate functions in smart phones) and the phone will still ring if someone calls with an emergency. Turn the text notifications back on when you get up. Just because you have personal rules on when it is right or wrong to text, doesn't mean that everyone understands that you have this limitation. I work for the federal government and it is not unusual in my workplace that texts get sent late as I am in IT and some of our operations are 7x24 facilities. If it is after we've gone to bed, I turn of notifications and then check it in the morning. Not that hard.

For the OP who was up and just didn't want to get contacted that way, grow up. Texting and texting late are not considered unprofessional in the federal government and corporate IT worlds, I'm not sure why you think it is unprofessional in a landlord/tenant situation. If you don't want to respond at that time, then just wait until morning to respond.

The landlord is not the one who had a barking dog outside and she is not the one who repeatedly called in noise violations on the neighbors. It is possible that some quiet, unknown neighbor finally just blew a fuse and issued a formal complaint because they are sick of all of the racket happening in/around the building.

Op here- actually our landlord was the one who issues all the complaints for us. We complained to her and she reached out to the HOA on multiple occasions to put in the complaints for us.

Al the more reason you should not be pissy about her texting you at 11 pm to find out about a complaint coming the other way. Let me guess, you texted her about the noise issues with your neighbor?

Op here- nope. In the 3 years I've been here, I've never ONCE texted her about an issue. If it's between 9-6 when she's in her office,
I will call her. Otherwise, I send her or her husband an email.

Is her office work related to the rental or something else? Maybe she would say that is equally inconvenient for her to receive calls about her personal rental property during business hours. She probably doesn't mind, just like you shouldn't go on a full-on strop about her texting at 11 pm. FFS woman, she's gone to bat for you when you had complaints to lodge. Now one has come back her way and she wants to get on top of it as efficiently as possible. You sound entitled.

basically.

Very smart, always put things in writing. Most people don't get this concept for some reason.

Texts are "writing" Perry Mason and are considered legally probative.

This!
find a real problem and don't look at your phone after a certain hour -- sheesh!

I agree it is unprofessional of your landlord to text you along w/everyone else in a group text at such an hour.

Are you living in a really laid-back property? Where you socialize w/the landlord & other residents on occasion? If so, your landlord may just think it is par for the course.

If you don't want your boyfriend implicated, ask your landlord what the breed/color/size of the dog in question was.

Any update, OP?

Op here- she works in a real estate office as a rental agent

Then email her and tell her that you would prefer to receive emails instead of texts. How does she know what you prefer if you never tell her?

Any update, OP?

Just don't read it until regular normal work hours. 9am-6pm thing.
Don't bother sending/reading texts after 10pm if you ask me. If it's an emergency, they wouldn't be texting, the phone will be ringing.

If anyone asks, just say you don't do text/or emails/respond after a certain time.
It's like someone sending you an email at 7am and thinks you read it by 8am as soon as you walk into the office. Idiot. "I will get to it."

OP you come off as extremely high maintenance. There is nothing wrong with texting at any hour but if it bothers you just tell her you prefer not to get texts after a certain hour. I have friends who are charged for texts/calls and have no problem accommodating them, but I can't intuitively know their preferences.
