Another thought ......call your local TV station and have them do a human interest story on it !

Your town may have laws that prohibit refuse on the sidewalk driveways or property

look at your lease contract... there's probably a section in there that covers your rights of "peaceful enjoyment" of your apartment. since noisy children are playing just outside of your apartment, you have lost the "peaceful enjoyment" of your apartment . insist that they do something about it or report it to the city

Unfortunately, if the love seat was not the property of the company which owns the building, the management company is under no legal obligation to do anything about it. A good and responsive property management would deal with the issue; but, unfortunately too many management companies are neither good nor responsive.

Call them again, if they still dontvrespond call tge city to see if they will pick it up.

"drop" a firecracker on it.....ooops! up in flames! LOL

((nothing to add that hasn't already been suggested))

I'd be tempted to collect some pee in a bottle and when it gets dark, sprinkle it liberally over the seat. Might keep the urchins off it until someone takes ownership of the problem.

If management company won't respond, try city code enforcement.

Wait until kids are making up and call the cops.

Is there a police department you can contact or a council you can contact regarding disturbance. This is also a fly tipping issue is it not?

Please let agnostic.com know the outcome of this problem. I sympathise because I have similar problems. Good luck.

If the loveseat is sitting on the rental property itself, I agree that the management now owns the responsibility of removal (and shame on the loser who dumped their crap like that). However, if the sidewalk you are referring to is on a street outside of your complex, then I'd call the city (police or fire dept, maybe) and report it as a potential safety hazard that needs to be removed.

Conversely, you could contact two of your big, burly friends to just schlepp it to the apartment complex dumpster and toss it in. Just a thought.

Look up city ordinances where you live. There is most likely a rule against it. You can tell management that they have a set amount of time (24 hours or w/e) to remove it or you're reporting a refuse obstruction violation (or w/e you have) to the city.

Is it on the property or in the city?

Call the police and report a potential health and safety hazard to children. Let them handle it.

Kerosene and matches. Problem solved
