SirK,

You mentioned these are tenants. Have you discussed the situation with the Landlord? They're the ones who should have set guidelines for the use of their property, and they're the ones who can do something about it. You might negotiate with them for payment to keep the place clean, or if you're also a tenant, a reduced rate to compensate for their other tenants.

And HQ, your best bet is to talk with the apartment complex management. Let them know that you'd rather stay right there, but because of the behavior of your neighbors, you're unwilling to do so. That puts the onus on them to either fix the problem or watch your rent money go bye-bye. And unless the market is so good that they've got a waiting list for your apartment, they'll probably be more accomodating of you.

And if you do that, they've got until your lease expires to address the problem.

As for the laundry in the machines, BTW, I'd suggest what we did in college -- if it's still in there, it gets pulled out and dumped somewhere in the laundry room so someone else can use the machines.
