Welcome to Your New Home

OUR GOAL is to provide you with the best housing experience possible. There may be temptations to “over decorate” your apartment during your stay in our facility. Please note that you will be responsible for damage beyond “normal wear & tear” and many of the items listed below are extremely costly. Take a moment to review the following areas where our residents may have problems. Our goal is to make your stay as pleasant as possible and refund your entire security deposit after your departure.

PLEASE review the following:

WALLS : Please limit the items you hang on each wall to two. Use only poster putty, small finishing nails or tacks to hang these items. Remember every hole must be filled and repaired by our staff. Please do not attempt to fill them or make repairs yourself. Oversized or excessive wall holes will be charged back to the resident.

WOODWORK: Please do not nail, mount or stick anything to doors, windows, window frames, molding or cabinets. These scars can never be fixed and are expensive to replace.

WINDOWS & SCREENS : The windows and screens are your responsibility to monitor. The windows must stay shut during cold and windy days to alleviate problems. The windows should never be forced open or used as an access to your apartment. Under no circumstances should the screen be removed. Also, please report any damaged screens to management as soon as possible.

CEILINGS : The only allowable item on the ceiling is one plant hanger per room. Any other attachment or hole will need to be repaired my management.

STICKERS or PLASTIC STICKY HOOKS : These items should not be used in your home. They cause unnecessary damage and/or work to remove.

CARPET & VINYL : The carpet in your apartment is very costly to replace. Please make sure that all colored food and juice items, bleach and cigarettes are properly controlled so no damages arise. Usually, rooms will need to be replaced when a mishap involving one of these occurs.

RUGS : We do not recommend any type of rubber-backed rug to be placed on the vinyl flooring in your apartment. In most cases, it will cause severe damage to the vinyl by yellowing it. The damage that is caused is irreversible and the consequences will be the resident’s responsibility. In most cases, this damage requires full replacement of the vinyl.

FURNITURE : Some apartments have furnishings in them. Please use care and good judgment when using these items, as abuse and negligence will quickly destroy them.

APPLIANCES : Use them properly, and report any problems or maintenance needs to management.

KEYS : Residents should carefully monitor the security of their apartment keys. Replacement keys cost $10.00 per key, and the full deposit will be forfeited if they are not turned in when moving out.

LIABILITY : Any problems or accidents should be immediately reported to management and an incident report should be written up. Residents are jointly liable for any damage in the apartment, unless the responsible party is clearly and promptly reported to management.
