Don't do it

I arrived home today to ANOTHER note on my door.
Before I begin, some background is needed: I've been putting up with these shysters for nearly 2 years. I've had eviction notices taped to my door, in spite of paying on time, due to managerial dyslexia, or something. I've had someone break into my car. Apparently, this is standard.
I feel like the investment in the gate clicker was a waste, since people just drive in through the out door...The only high-point in living here was when I accidentally hit a dumpster-diver in the head with a bag of garbage.
Anyway, the note:
I was expecting some sort of "We're having an ice cream party at the 'clubhouse' (AKA: the "office")," or the other tripe they tape to the doors, in order to convince the conned residents that they are providing a happy suburban wonderland, cleverly disguised as apartments.
Instead, it was a notice that they would formally serve me (and my neighbors) with a "3 day notice to perform covenant or quit"...
What does that even mean' Does this have something to do with the Da Vinci Code'
They listed the things you are allowed to keep on your porch:
1) outdoor patio furniture
2) potted plants
3) bicycles
Apparently, everything else is forbidden...Including emptiness...One neighbor, who has NOTHING WHATSOEVER on their porch, received the same notice.
Are these people crazy' What is WRONG with them'
Yeah...I'll remove the offending chair from my patio...Whatever...but, not before adding YET ANOTHER to your long list of bad reviews. My CHAIR, I hope, costs you two potential tenants.
I'd pay more to live in a MORE run down, less WELL MAINTAINED complex, so long as it's sans the, utterly random, threatening notes on the door.
Recently, an entire laundry ROOM was out of order for a month. A laundry ROOM was out of order. How can a ROOM be out of order' "Yeah...The north-west wall was having an off day." The washing machines were on strike.
Another thing...(And I have to be careful here, I suppose)...Two words: "Megans law." Don't move here if you have children. Check the address.
I'm done...so sue me. Kick me out. I'll gladly face you in small claims court. In fact...I relish the prospect.

Management can't evict you without a court order. They cannot call the sheriff and make you leave until a judge has decided that their claims are valid or if you somehow waived that right in writing. Also note that just because something is in the lease does not mean it can be enforced, even if the agreement is that you will be evicted for not obeying. Even if you violate a clause in the lease, a judge can refuse to grant an eviction if it turns out that the clause is illegal (ie. if management stipulates that you perform a sexual act in exchange for maintenance jobs). I don't know about a chair on a patio, but you are entitled under the law to "enjoyment of your dwelling". I'm no lawyer but I have been around the block a few times.

I lived there for a hellish two years as well and those threatening notes were standard. I remember when the gate had just been built and everyone received a notice just like that stating we all had to pay our surprise deposit for the gate key or else be evicted... it read just like what you had. Guess they use the same template. Get out while you can, man.

thanks for your help with your response...i am looking to move and I am not into all that trouble in my living situation. I appreciate the honesty. Don't know where to move yet, but I don't think it should be there. Thanks! :) by the way, your story about the laundry room was hilarious...and sad.
