Laundry Rules Some tips to help make the experience of doing laundry less tiresome for you and your neighbors! 1. Don’t leave laundry unattended. If you do leave, set a timer and return before your load (s) are finished. 2. Remove your items from the machines in a timely manner so others can use them. 3. Don’t use too much detergent, bleach or fabric softener. 4. Clean up any spills you make or see. 5. Clean out the dryer lint screen when you are finished with the machine. 6. If someone leaves and doesn’t return in a reasonable amount of time, you can remove their laundry from a washer/dryer but always put it in a clean place/table/basket, etc. 7. Talk quietly on your cell phone if you need to use it. 8. Don’t overload machines with clothes. 9. Double check machines to make sure you get all your things. 10.Don’t litter. 11.Do not throw your dryer sheets on the floor. 12.If you play music, make sure it’s not too loud. 13.Don’t take up all the machines. 14.Be mindful of neighbors if using machines late at night or very early in the morning. 15.Clean up any residue left in the washing machines after you use them. 16.If you leave a mess in the bathroom, clean it up! It shouldn’t be left so the next person has to clean up your mess! 17.Absolutely NO parties and loud music in the laundry room at all. REMEMBER, WE DO HAVE CAMERAS IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM.

Locked Doors Please remember if Maintenance Staff enters your apartment, and no one is home, they are always required by the lease to lock the door when they leave (no exceptions). So if you plan on not being there, you need to always have your entrance key available.

INSPECTIONS Apartments are inspected for cleanliness, repairs that may be needed, and any possible improvements. If you have any questions or problems, they can be discussed during the inspection. We need access to ALL your windows and rooms. Please make sure ALL items are removed from the window area. Please remove all items off the top and inside of your stove and on the burners as well. Call in any work orders before the inspection. Poor housekeeping, missing fire detectors, and any damage beyond ordinary wear and tear are grounds for a failed inspection.

REMINDERS FROM MAINTENANCE Outside Christmas lights and other decorations must be taken down no later than January 8. Also, all boxes must be broken down and flattened out before putting them in the trash bins. Please make sure the trash bags are tied. Do not grab a trash can from another porch because yours is full and put your trash in them and that means vacant apartments as well. Remember to regularly clean your trash bin. Do not refuse entry to our maintenance staff when they come to your apartment. They are there for a reason and need to fix whatever issue there is inside. Remember, as colder temperatures are approaching you must always leave your heat on to prevent pipes from freezing. PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR GAS STOVE OR OVEN TO HEAT UP YOUR UNIT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR SERIOUS INJURY. IF YOUR HEATER IS NOT WORKING, PLEASE NOTIFY THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY TO PUT IN A WORK ORDER.
