A residnet, shareholder or renter, knowingly lets a fushometer run for 5 days without notifying super, manager or landlord. No damage, just running water. Is this a unit entry situation?
Thanks but not a shareholder, a resident of the Holder of Unsold shares.
Same applies. Continual running water is an emergency situation. You need to be pro active. You cannot turn around afterwards when your building is flooded and say, gosh we knew about running water but did nothing? As mentioned in my previous e-mail I have entered apts in the past to address this issue and never was it a problem. Tenants were actually greatful.

Yes,as a resident manager I have entered apartments to address such problems and consider it to be an emergence situation. I would hate to think that someone reported a potential problem and nothing was done.In past situations I would first try to notify the tenant and then enter if I got no response (leaving the shareholder a message as to why we entered) In addition consider the waste of water and the cost factor. Also if you believe the shareholder is doing this on purpose you may have to take a hard line approach.
Good luck.
