Oh, how lovely. Apartment inspection in 2 days.

doubtful ... unless there is a rule specifically against them. If anything it'll probably be some old guy and he'll ask you what you do with them.

.... or why do you have so many xD

I should just say my friends played a prank on me.

That's believable, right?

just tell them the truth and wait for them to comprehend xD

Eh, I'd rather not. In one of the previous apartments I lived in, the housing manager snooped through my shit during an inspection and found some of my Mellyloon/Looneynudes print balloons. For several months after that inspection, she kept giving me fliers for sex addiction therapy and for various church groups focused around "curing sexual deviancy". And then she got mad when I didn't thank her for "helping" me.

I'd rather not have to risk dealing with that nonsense again. :|

I never lived anywhere that did inspections thank gawd. Not that i had anything but aint want folks in my business. 

Lucky you.

Inspections are annoying as fuck, especially when the inspector is a rude asshat who feels the need to provide smartass commentary about the stuff you own.

Does that violate building codes?

Nope, but landlords can still be dicks about things that aren't violations.

legally they can't do shit to you then. 

You'd be surprised...

Where I live, landlords have a lot of leeway when it comes to dicking you over even if you don't violate any rules.

Bro I'd leave all the balloons where they are just so they have to bat them around to look at the walls and floor. 

It'd probably just distract them from their grading and give them a story to talk about 

for the rest of the day anyway.

Oh I'm gonna be moving them as far out of the way as I can. They're all a bit overinflated, and I don't want some idiot popping one by batting it too hard. These balloons are too pricey to be wasted like that.

Also, I don't really need to distract them from grading. Outside of the whole balloon thing, there are no other problems in my room.

Usually just making sure you aren't damaging the property or hoarding garbage.

Stuff like that.

All they do here is check the smoke detectors and replace the furnace filter

i've never heard of apartment inspections. unless it's in your contract, i'd tell them to fuck off

Around here, all apartment leases mention that inspections can happen.

So I gotta just deal with it.

Here they usually give each room a once over and check closets.

Then they check smoke detectors, furnace, etc.

do you live in section 8 or something? i've seriously never heard of that and i had an apartment myself

Nope. Around here pretty much all apartments get inspections.

Even the ones in more affluent areas.

I think the most you would have to be worried about is them thinking you are hoarding those balloons for nefarious purposes... like that one former friend of yours thought.

I liked the idea someone above about just telling them the truth... but then you told them why you didn't want to, and that makes sense.

I also liked the idea of using them like an obstacle course (and in the process also telling him you did it JUST to bother him), but... then you'll be wasting your money. :|

If they ask (which they probably will), I'm probably just gonna tell them I like having balloons around.

The only apartments I've heard of that have rigorous inspections like this are subsidized ones run by the state.

Around here, most apartment complexes are owned by big out-of-city (or sometimes out-of-state) businesses that manage a ton of real estate. It's not uncommon for such businesses to have regular inspections to make sure people aren't destroying the property (unless they're slumlords).

Ohio sucks

I've lived in Ohio my whole life and have never had inspections in any of the apartments I lived in.

At my last job as a social worker they inspected people's apartments every month but that that was because it was housing for people who had been homeless for a long time and making sure they were keeping it clean was part of the process of helping them successfully transition to housing, like I think they got to skip a month after so many months without any problems.

I used to fucking hate those! It's especially sucky if you live with a hoardish family and they panic and everyone cleans last minute.

I know that situation all too well. >.<

Yearly-ish inspections are a common occurrence for most apartments in the city I live in. I only mentioned Ohio because the state is about as far as I'll go when posting about where I live online. >.>
