City Airport Problem

Wondering how many others have had this problem with a city-run airport.

City gets new insurance carrier and conducts a hanger inspection including
various "code enforcement" types.

Per letter to each renter, violations seem to be of three types:
1) Valid such as temporary, non-code wiring, out of date fire extinquishers,
etc.
2) Items normally supporting FAA approved owner maintenance per reg 5190.6A.
ie: tools, chemicals, polishes, touchup paint, air compressors, etc.
3) Renter emotional items. ie: refrigerator, golf carts, autos, motorcycles,
bicycles, Bar-B-Q's, chairs, tables, storage cabinets, misc household items,
etc.

Most renters believe that as long as their hanger includes an "N" numbered
plane, anything else goes as long as safety isn't compromised since it is
"their" space.

Apparently people found out years ago that airport hangers were (not now)
cheaper than other types of rental storage.

Complicating the situation is that the renters were coerced several years
ago into signing a lease which essentially eliminated everything except
"N" numbered aircraft storage.

It eliminated all maintenance on certified craft and building homebuilt,
experimental projects as well as anything perceived as "commercial" activity
by the renter. Also included sub-leasing.

Here in mid-state there are many outside the area that would like to escape
their much higher rental costs and willingly pay more than the current city
rate.

Worst scenario for the couple hundred of us: City drives us out, raises
rent, newbees happy as saving some. Maintenance and experimental is gone.

Thoughts?
