Chani
Welcome
A piece of paper was hanging on the door of the apartment next door. It said: “Welcome to a Chani-free zone.” As far as I know two girls live next door.
Who or what is Chani?
An unpleasant deodorant?
A young man who dumped one of the girls?
A co-worker who verbally abused one of the girls?
Or did the girls get into an ugly fight and did one of the girls decide that the other girl, named Chani, had to sleep on the street?

Maybe she means my sister-in-law Chani ( Sjanie).
maybe because Chani is also an r'n b artist (http://www.myspace.com/mychani) who fully deserves to be banned from any apartment, worldwide.
Chani
Is it handwritten? I think they might have misspelled chain free..The other options are far more interesting though. Chani might be a person or animal that they both dislike or that they pretend to dislike, just for a larf.
Just ask them, now I'm curious.
Put on your Swiss train conductor's uniform and claim to be an "official Chani inspector" . Say you "just want to make sure." If you get into trouble, explain that you are a famous but excentric Dutch author and try to seduce them by offering them a part in your next book.
If you find this prospect too daunting,, slip a note under the door saying "Chani misses you" together with your telephone number.

So the outdoors, or even the stairway, is a Chani-unfree zone? Then Chani must be something that's omnipresent. Maybe Chani is something like Karma, or other bad Vibes.
