We love your animal and you love your animal, but your neighbors may not love your animal. Allowing your animal to bark all day long, roam freely or \u201cdo their business\u201d in your neighbor\u2019s yard will certainly not make your neighbor adore you.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">Matchbox does not allow smoking inside or outside of your dwelling unless you have a designated smoker\u2019s pole positioned on the property. A balcony or deck does not constitute an area to smoke as it will waft into your neighbors&#8217; windows and make it an unenjoyable experience for them. We care about you, your neighbors, your safety, and the owner&#8217;s property.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Noise can make or break friendships in a neighborhood or community.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\">Bass can be felt and not just heard. Keep your speakers off the ground and away from the walls where neighbors may sleep.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">If you can hear it outside your doors, it is too loud.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">Not everyone living around you sleeps the same hours as you. Be considerate, as we are sure you would not want to be disturbed when you are sleeping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">Trash belongs in the dumpsters, trash chutes, or proper receptacles. Red cups, broken glass, and\/or broken furniture laying in the yard is not acceptable to anyone.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">A Party-Free Community means that you have chosen to live amongst others that wish to sleep, study, and work in a peaceful home setting. Remind your guests of this fact when coming to visit you. At any time, the total number of people in your home cannot exceed the number of residents on your lease plus five guests.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">Fire Alarms are the only emergency tool that will alert you to a fire emergency should there be smoke in the building. Smoke doesn\u2019t tap on your shoulder and tell you to wake up and leave. If you hear the alarm, you need to get out every, single time! On your way out, be a good neighbor and knock on your neighbors&#8217; doors. Don\u2019t wait for them, but alert them to the fact that there is an emergency by banging on their door.\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\">With that being said, if you or your friends, decide to pull an alarm as a prank, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Pulling an alarm is like the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf. The more you hear the alarm, the less inclined you are to leave. Don\u2019t play with these because they are for emergencies ONLY.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">Count a Fire Alarm as a chance to practice saving your life. It isn\u2019t fun waking up at odd hours, but there is usually a good reason the alarms went off. Don\u2019t roll back over and ignore it. It could be the one time you needed to escape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1069\" src=\"https:\/\/matchboxrealty.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/Matchbox-realty-neighbor.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-143141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matchboxrealty.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/Matchbox-realty-neighbor.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/matchboxrealty.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/Matchbox-realty-neighbor-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matchboxrealty.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/Matchbox-realty-neighbor-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matchboxrealty.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/Matchbox-realty-neighbor-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matchboxrealty.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/Matchbox-realty-neighbor-1536x1026.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Meet your neighbors in case of an emergency or just to have a sense of community.
