What to do about violation of condo pool rules?

For the past 2 summers I have lived in my condo, the pool has always been clean and kept nice. There was usually a sparse amount of people and it was rather quiet.
This year, I am not sure what happened, but it's gone crazy. I am usually tolerant, but it's gotten ridiculous. People from outside the neighborhood jump the fence, swim with their entire families or something, and trash the place. I found freakin corn floating in the pool! How gross is that..plus lord knows what else. I cannot take my kids when it looks like that. There are wrappers everywhere and the noise goes on to 11 at night. I tried asking the homeowner's to do something (they recently converted from rented to condos) but they are such cheapskates, they won't even hire security or a poolkeeper. And they can flippin afford it with what they are selling these stupid places for. So all that is annoying..now it's worse. The trespassing creeps and their families have started shoving paper in the locks on the gates..
Answers:
I actually got extremely angry reading what has been going on in your place of living. I'm sorry you have to deal with such BS! Unfortunately nobody really cares about anything but themselves so it's up to you as a resident to do something about it. I would suggest talking to other residents in your area and see about starting a neighborhood watch. If everyone does a small part then you will be able to maximize your efficiency and alleviate your headaches from the ridiculous actions of others. The more active a community is and the more people unite against something the easier it is to get rid of it. A few suggestions would be to go door to door. Make fliers with information on what's been going on and ask for people's help with in your comunity. Check with the landlord or main office or whoever is in charge. Tell them that if they won't fix the problem that you are forced to do something about it on your own. Please stay with in legal limits of your actions however. It will paint a clear picture for anyone abusing the privileges that you deserve. Good luck!
Call the police. These people are trespassing, plain and simple. And don't you have a Homeowner's Association? With fees and all that? They are LEGALLY bound to abide by the conditions in the Homeowner's Agreement. Which, I'm sure, involves providing security for trespassers.
My mom had the same problem with her condo board. She called the Department of Health . . . the problems were taken care of within a week.
call the police next time they are making noise. if you know they are not supposed to be there, call the police for trespassing. you do have some power.
Security %26 rule enforcment is up to the condo board of directors acting thru hired management. If you are a tenant, move. If you are an owner your only remedy is to get together with like minded owners; gain control of the Board of Directors %26 fire management %26 hire someone who will enforce the rules.
