George, our landlord, has requested that all "revolutionary
literature", and anything with a political theme, including flyers and
papers and posters, be removed from the common area and restricted to
inside Sudoroom only. He also has the usual complaints about too much
furniture, a messy kitchen, crap being left on tables, sleepers, and a
general "lack of understanding about what common area means." The
usual threats to "either charge you more or evict you" were made. He
also complained that somebody was rude to him one time.
This was prompted by him finding the words "CLASS WAR" written in
black marker on the wall of the single-stall bathroom.
I told him I would relay all his messages to the group and otherwise
resisted engaging with him.

I'd say its time to consider rent striking until you find a new place.
Seriously.

Seems there was discussion of insisting that complaints from him be
delivered in writing -- any decision come out of that? To me it sounded
like a good way to improve communication with somebody who is perhaps not
the clearest communicator. If that has been (or could be) adopted as a
general policy, I think it might open the possibility of just saying
"please write that down, and I'll be sure the rest of the group sees it,
and (if action is requested) get you an answer.)" Which might be easier
than agreeing to pass on something that is verbal and (maybe) not entirely
reasonable.

Oh god, whenever BAPS and Sudo can get the fuck out of here, that moment
can't come soon enough.
George is obsessed with throwing things away. He's obsessed with garbage
and filth. In his caustic fits, I've seen him produce about as much filth
as he attempts to remedy spilling garbage everywhere, going noisily through
bottles so he can recycle them at home, complaining they're not separated,
when we have single-stream recylcling like the rest of Oakland.
I will say I'm sympathetic with his complaint that the common area needs to
be cleaner. We need to get a routine where we vacuum the common area and
clean the common kitchenette at least once per day. I do both almost every
time I am there. If we as a community can't get that together as a daily
event, we (Sudo and BAPS) honestly should pay for a janitorial service to
do that.
Best,
David
