Thanks very much for the suggestion. Do we need to go to those lengths, or can I apply on reasonable grounds, with a doctor’s letter?
When you say “go to those lengths …” it make me wonder whether this is as big a deal as you say. It also makes me wonder if you should be moving into an apartment at all – certainly one in this specific block.
If you just turn up with just a doctor’s note, you will be opening yourself up for a long an bitter dispute with your neighbours (which you will probably lose). The fact that this could be avoided with a little effort on your part seems not to concern you.
How about just trying to do the right thing? See my previous comment about “after all it’s my property”.
