Do you live in a «new» building? If so I can see why they care about aesthetics. Don’t know if they can fine you for it though – other than being a pain in the ass.

The letter states what and why. It’s hardly controversial. If you disagree, that’s fine but why are you posting it here?

😀 Yes, there are downsides to living in an apartment with a board of people managing its affairs who are (often) anally retentive, pedantic asshats.

You accept the possibility of people with too much sparetime making the rules when moving into buildings/projects like that tho.
You dont have to like it, but if its a policy in the building/project you will have to follow it.

Tell me you didn’t read the apartment rules without telling me you didn’t read the apartment rules 🤷🏻♂️

They ask you to actually get a sign (“ skilt“), not just plaster up a piece of paper.

I have been a delivery guy, and it is a mess when people use labels in all kinds of formats (type, handwritten) colors and forms.
It is all about standards and aesthetics.
I would comply with the styret. The stytet is trying to enforce a rule. They voted for this rule. Order a standard one from one of those websites.
Dont let unsuspecting people know you live in a ghetto the moment they enter the front door and see those postboxed.

Not sure what the controversy is. These are standard guidelines. From what I also remember in my old apartment block, clear written names for each apartment helps the emergency services know who is accounted for in the event of a fire. This is something that was pushed by fire department I believe. If it’s not in place, the borettslag can be fined.
On a side note, it looks better with uniformed labels. Not a bunch of different coloured post it notes stuck on with tape.
If you live in a flat in Norway, there will be rules. If you don’t follow them, there will be consequences.

We got this letter when I lived in a big block too! Buy the sign! I brought it with me when I moved and put it on my new mailbox anyway

for all the people not understanding what the «controversy» is about.. it’s about other people not micromanaging your personal business. it’s so strange that someone would try to enforce rules regarding something so insignificant as post box skilt. like no, thank you, i would rather choose how it looks like myself.

Do you have any social skills what so ever? You need to work with the people around you to make a common space that people want to be in. Put your ego away and be a normal neighbour.

You can get a skilt from https://skilthandelen.no – or ask the borettslag to order and pay.
