I would argue they are hanging washing on common property. Lower units are aligned along a raised level leading to the stairwell to the upper level. To me it is just unsightly for residents to have bras, knickers, and undies hanging on clothes horses outside people’s front doors.
I live in a block that has gone from 90% owner occupied to now about 30%. Unfortunately a lot of tenants just don’t care. If a place looks shabby, it attracts like.
Too many times I have had to tell people that you can’t just dump/store their personal belongings on common property .i.e a painter had no qualms just storing his painting equipment under the common property stairwell!
I see too much of this happening all the time. Hence, why I am angling to just try and bar hanging out your laundry over railings, outside your front door etc. and use the lines provided around the back.
When you live in a heavily tenanted building, I have found you really need to seem a bit overly harsh. Otherwise, the place can go to rack and ruin.
