Tenants holding weekly prayer groups

[Sofiya Cherni]

Tenants are having prayer groups once a week with loud music and yelling/praying. Is this something I have to allow? I have a clause in the lease against property being used for business purposes but this doesn’t quite fall in that category since I don’t believe they’re charging money for this. I found a post on Facebook where tenant is advertising this and is asking for anyone who knows her to join. I’d be fine with it if they were at least quiet but it is quite loud and lasts from 7pm-10pm or so. I live in a townhome right next to them, sharing a wall.

@Sofiya Cherni I’m assuming you’re not a believer of thier faith. For a little extra entertainment or other wise why not join them one evening, because you may like it. If you shut them down and it really is a God thing that they are doing, you could be in danger of the Higher Power. Maybe the Lord sent you a next door neighbor to bless your life. :) 

Blessings my friend 

I’m an atheist of sorts and don’t care if they pray to God or Devil as long as I can sleep. I’ve seen what happens at their church and it’s a bunch of BS but to each their own. They are very loud in general and the walls are very thin, so more of a curse than a blessing. 

They’ve been talked to about the noise issue before but don’t seem to care. How many days can a human last without proper sleep before going mental? Not very long, 2-3 days. Looking for an authoritative solution vs buddy solution, don’t want to evict, lease just renewed for 2 yrs. 

Are they handling snakes over there? Any speaking in tongues? Turning gay people straight? Polygamy? Making up offensive picket signs for funerals? Have you seen any pitchers of Kool-Aid being passed around? Are they waiting on a starship? The good stuff, you know?

 If it's just good old Jesus this is easy. Get on Craigslist and find a guy who's willing to do freaky things for cash. Give him a live chicken and a good sharp knife and send him over there in the middle of the prayer meeting. The minute they crack the door, he chops the head off the chicken, screams "Baphomet!!!", throws the headless chicken into the room, and runs.

You do this 2-3 times in a row, trust me, no more prayer meetings next door.
