no one said the kids cant play and have fun all people are asking for is the kids to keep the noise down when going near other peoples appartments. making noise around the pool is understandable. but when the kids stand outside your bedroom window screaming thats when it makes the owners more angry. and the fact that kids are not even ment to play in the walkways and we let them means WE ARE NOT TRYING TO RUIN THERE FUN. but actually keeping the noise down. we havent got a problem with kids playing. just please tell the kids to keep the noise down when playing outside near my bedroom window and when they are running past .
thanks from devil 666

I believe that the law says that you can make a noise on the complex between certain hours, I think it is 8am and 10pm but I am not 100% sure on that. I am also not sure of the legality of any internal rules which state deviations from this (i.e. noise is allowed between 10am and 11pm), but that is not the crux of the question.
I and a couple of other parents have now had a 2nd warning letter from the administrators because of "children causing noise whilst playing" in the complex.
Now I'm very sorry, but as much as any parent may ask, children may stay quiet for 5 minutes, but whilst playing as a group, the volume will always go up as they get excited and forget about everything else around them.
This is our 2nd letter in about 4 months and the 1st time I have got really angry in the 2 years we have been here.
So bearing in mind that the children only play out for a few hours on an evening and certainly not in the "quiet" hours, can they really harass us like this?
ANOTHER QUESTION....
This one regarding minutes from a community meeting.
Following a recent meeting, minutes were issued and I felt that one of the items was not as had been agreed at the meeting. I checked this with a number of others on the complex and all thought the same as me.
So. I wrote to the President and Administrator to seek clarification as I thought that maybe the problem was in the translation from Spanish to English. About a week later I get an irate telephone call from the administrators assistant saying that I can't accuse them of tampering with the minutes or lying. I say that I am not but seeking clarification that's all. So following a long conversation she tells me what I thought we had agreed in the meeting but swears blind that it what the minutes say. Certainly not in English they don't!
Still nothing has happened to put this right and now I find that the President says that the minutes are correct, even one of the committee members says she remembers the vote being for what I thought was agreed (incidentally, NOT what the presidents wife wanted ??)
I'm starting to smell a rat and getting completely fed up with this whole community thing!
So do I need to do the letter again and get others to sign it to get any action (only me on the letter last time)
Thanks,
