There is a $500 fine for anyone caught dumping furniture or other items not allowed in the dumpsters or beside the dumpsters.
- Door Mats are not allowed in our buildings. Our rational is that if you walk thru common areas why do you need a door mat. Wipe your shoes at the front door before walking the common areas. Door mats will be disposed of without notification and at tenants expense.

- Littering – Littering on the property will not be tolerated whether by adults or kids or guests. If we can identify the party littering we will be charging a $500 fee plus the cost to cleanup the items to the units that the litter belongs too or is visiting.
Plumbing Issues
- All plumbing issues that are related to a single unit may be charged to the tenants of the units at management sole opinion. It is our hope that only pee, poop, and minimal toilet paper is flushed. No food or other objects should be put down the drains. Flushable items are not flushable, please dispose of them in a trash can.
- All plumbing issues that are caused by improper items being put down the drains in a multi unit complex will be shared by all tenants if an offending tenant is not easily discovered.
- All water leaks including running toilets should be reported immediate via an online maintenance request. Tenants are responsible for wasting resources so it’s asked that you shutoff the valves when water issues can be isolated with minimal disruptions. Any uncontrolled water leak should be reported both via the online maintenance request and also by calling the office or after hours emergency support.
- Pest Control is the responsibility of tenants no matter the cause of the pest. If you have cockroaches or another evasive species that spreads and don’t report it you may be evicted for non-reporting.
