We were actually the first owners of the unit almost 35 years ago. We owned it and used it often, selling it after 6 years because we got a puppy and there was a strict no-pet policy, which I wrote, as President of the Condo Association for five years.
We were happy and nostalgic to be back. Had fun for the first several days. Then, early Friday morning, While I was having breakfast, I heard someone trying to get in the front door, which was locked from the inside. I went to see what was going on, to find 2 men, a woman and 2 teenagers wanting to come in and remove the patio furniture and store it in the living room. They said it was "storm prep." They also had no idea the unit was occupied, and asked if they could start getting the very large outside table and chairs placed inside.
I said I wasn't leaving until the next day. The storm was not on track to be anywhere close for six days. They just kepy repeating that if was an owner I could "ride it out," but otherwise the patio furniture needed to be brought in and stacked up in my unit, with or without me and my wife residing there. I told the I saw no reason to leave, especially as the storm was almost a week away and I had prepaid for the unit. and would be leaving in 24 hours. They clearly did not like my response. I asked them why they didn't knock or identify themselves at the front door, to which the younger teenager sneered "Have a nice day."
This episode made it abundantly clear we were in the way, and needed to go, which is what we did. When we were asked how we enjoyed our stay at the office, I told the woman what happened. She then proceeded to give me a lecture on why I was wrong and they were right. Rather than explode, I set the keys down and left. Seething
