Repairs/Maintenance: All repairs
and maintenance requests should be reported to your
manager. Please do not delay in reporting problems.
Problems that are not reported usually end up costing
everyone more money. All work orders are reviewed
and prioritized. We will make every effort to respond
in a reasonable amount of time.
Emergencies: There is a 24 hour answering
service that will field emergencies and will call
the maintenance person on call if it is warranted.
Emergencies are limited to no heat calls, no running
water, electric service out to entire unit, fire.
Emergencies are not being locked out (call a locksmith),
electric out to part of the unit, broken windows,
etc. You will be charged for a call that is not necessary,
a repair caused by neglect, or if we respond and cannot
gain access because of a lock change or dog on premises.
Utilities: Utilities for heat and
electric can vary throughout the year. We suggest
using a budget plan to level out the costs. The gas
and electric company will often have trouble reading
your meter in the winter when it needs read the most.
This may cause fluctuating bills in March and April.
Before you assume that there is a problem make sure
that your bill has not been underestimated for months.
Insurance: Your landlord is only
insuring the building for liability and fire. It is
your responsibility to insure your contents, furniture,
and liability to visitors. Renter's insurance is inexpensive
but is vital in the case of fire and water damage.
Pets: You must contact your manager
prior to getting a pet. Some units allow for pets
and some do not. There are also extra deposits required
for pets, if allowed.
