What burns me most is that we've spent upwards of a grand renovating the patio area, and that was divided by six people.
OK, this makes the landlord's actions seem more arbitrary and unfair.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have no advice on the porch situation. But others' advice sounds sane.
I do have a question: There is this quote I read somewhere
That the first thing to do is to see the big picture, the second to see the tiny detail, and the third is to have both at the same time. Alcohol helps.
Ring any bells?

It might also be that the landlord, given a few days distance from the event, might be more open to relaxing the restrictions. Perhaps the decision to impose the restrictions were made in the heat of the moment....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I know it is not the same sitch, but I never approached neighbors that were being loud before calling - and I called the cops. Granted this was like 2am or later and noise so loud it woke me from a sleep, often times my floor and walls vibrating from bass. I did not know the people in this building and was not about to approach and unknown apartment.

But if it was outdoors noise? Does that make a difference? I called 911 when it sounded like a war was going on underneath me, but when it was people being loud out on the bench, I yelled at them first.

Also, it might not have been the people in the same building who complained--could've been a neighboring building.

Vortex, we certainly would have apologized.
no, I'm saying that you should do it now, after the fact. It might seem like it's too little, too late, but if you can convince them to (or help convince them) to change their mind, it will help that you can say that you've talked to the neighbors.
Also, check your lease, it may have some guidance on your access to the common areas. I mean, that's the point of common, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I doubt I'd approach a group of loud possibly drunk folks and ask them to be quiet.
If I knew one of them I'd possibly try talking to him/her, but I'd have to actually know him/her and not in the neighbor-nod way.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
No, the building manager told me it was two tenants who complained.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure anywhere I've ever lived, someone would yell out the window "SHUT THE FUCK UP," and/or call the cops, before going to Management.
