Problem With Street Fights Between 2 Kids

I manage a large apartment community, and if I evicted everyone that I overheard say something dumb or inappropriate I would be buried in evictions.

You’ve got to give us landlords a bit more credit. Evictions are usually the last straw and only done when all other remedies are reached. I would doubt that you would be evicted over the comment, however, it could be possible; I guess. It would probably be very difficult to enforce due to no evidence.

I will give you some real common sense advice:

Instead of worrying about this and constantly looking over your shoulder, take the bull by the horns and responsibly resolve the issue with the apartment manager. I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it, but I would stop by the rental office and personally discuss the issue with the manager and apologize for being dumb. I would also let them know that you have already apologized to the boys mother and that it was just something dumb that was said out of frustration. Then tell your apartment manager that you are sorry they had to overhear “my dumbness” and wanted to apologize for my actions. (then…) Compliment the manager and tell them how much you like the place or how nice they look. (Be sincere! and not too over the top)

Using that approach will put out the fire. When you talk to your landlord, don’t be foolish by saying anything negative about your apartment or request repairs… now, isn’t the time. Take care of the situation by approaching your landlord and apologizing.

P.S. Don’t forget to discipline your son. In today’s world racial slurs are completely inappropriate.
