UPDATE: A heated debate is unfolding over pool access at a beach condo, as a resident questions the ethics of sharing pool codes with non-friends. The issue has caught fire among local homeowners, with potential ramifications for community standards.
Residents are abuzz after a condo owner, known as “Cracking the Code,” revealed that a couple they barely know has been using their condo pool for years—an arrangement reportedly initiated through a $50 gift card each summer. The wife of the couple, who lives in a nearby building without a pool, has been texting for the access code every summer, raising eyebrows among other residents.
Just this week, “Cracking the Code” expressed frustration over the arrangement, stating, “I feel if she knew that she exercises in a pool every day and didn’t buy a condo with a pool, that’s on her.” The condo owner highlighted that their building incurs higher fees for maintaining the pool, raising questions about fairness and community ethics.
Experts suggest that the condo board may not look favorably upon this arrangement. “If your condo board got wind of this, they’d be displeased,” warns advice columnist Eric Thomas. He encouraged the resident to review their condo bylaws, as this could escalate into a significant issue for the community.
Many residents are now debating whether to support “Cracking the Code” in discontinuing the arrangement or to call for broader discussions on communal pool access. If “Cracking the Code” opts to stop sharing the code, they might face backlash from the couple who have become accustomed to this unusual bargain.
The situation underscores a larger issue concerning condo living: should residents be allowed to share access to amenities with acquaintances? As public pools and gyms become alternatives, the call for more transparency and fairness in community living is growing louder.
As this story develops, interested readers are encouraged to share their thoughts on social media. Should “Cracking the Code” continue sharing their pool access, or is it time to draw a line? What would you do in this situation?
Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to unfold.
