So I just got an email from my landlord mentioning that I cannon have lit candles in my apartment and that I cant have my couple sets of race tires in my closet. I have 9 months left in the lease still and I am a big fan of both my tires and candles (I got out of the dorms so I could finally have candles). Nothing is mentioned in my lease or apartment rules about these items except for possibly this:
"18. Dangerous Materials. Tenant shall not keep or have on the Premises any article or thing of a dangerous, inflammable, or explosive character that might increase the danger of fire on the Premises, or that might be considered hazardous by a responsible insurance company, unless the prior written consent of Owners is obtained and proof of adequate insurance protection is provided by Tenant to Owners."
and smoking is not allowed per the complex rules and the lease. Should I politely tell them to pound sand or can they just make rules like that?
I am also very responsible with my candles, burning on proper surfaces, staying in the same room and I even have a fire extinguisher very close on hand.
