We lived in low income housing for a short time many years ago. I had pots with tomatos just outside the door. Managment sent us a letter demanding they be gotten rid of or face eviction. No reason, just they wanted them gone. I moved them inside and a while later got a 5 day remedy or eviction notice because they were still on the property. Managment of those complexes can be extremely arbitrary.

STINKING IDIOTS!!!! :mad: You know>>> you give someone a little authority and they become MONSTERS on Power Trips! I have never heard such foolishness in all my life!!!!!!!!!!!

Landlords here are not quiet that bad.
I wondered if the one was gonna say anything when he was up here the other day.
He walked right past them without a peep.

When we used to rent I always kept tons of pots on our patio with tomatoes, peppers and herbs.

Like jfain, I too have rented at places where it didn't seem an issue. In fact, one complex actually judged a contest and awarded prizes for the best decorated patio- and growing pots, lawn ornaments, bird-baths, etc. were encouraged! I remember one year I won a hundred bucks off my rent when I had a bent willow settee, a distressed replica of a 38-star American flag, and various planters (including several Red-Wing crocks and an antique butter-churn) w/ blooms or geraniums, sunflowers, 'maters and herbs.
