If it were me I would get permission from the property owner/management and also check in with your close neighbors. You can't keep chcicken a secret for long. Let them know you want to get chickens for the fresh eggs and that you'd be more than happy to share. Also be aware that even if you don't have any roosters, you may have a hen or two that crow. I have ALWAYS had at least one hen who crowed. Last week it was my young Barred Rock hen who spent an entire morning crowing. I also have 6 roosters and I'm incredibly lucky to have neighbors who find them amusing!

We've been here six months and no one from the property management group has ever come out, but we do have ocassional repairman come out, for example a guy is coming next week to replace the window screens where we plan to build a coop.
