Pest Control
A Resident is required to notify Management immediately of any suspected or certain pest problem. The suspected pest problem could be in the Resident’s unit, in a common area or in a neighbors unit. Failure of Resident to do so is a violation of the Lease. Residents must not bring used furniture, particularly bed frames, mattresses, and stuffed furniture into the building unless certain they are free from any insects and eggs. Reducing clutter, regularly vacuuming, regularly removing garbage and following building rules regarding apartment care and sanitation standards are all required pest prevention practices. No bird feeders are allowed on decks or patios. Do not throw bird seed, peanuts pet food, etc., on the property grounds. This causes unwanted wildlife such as opossums, raccoons and rodents, etc. to come looking for food. These animals carry a variety of diseases. They are wild animals and are able to forage for their own food. You can prevent creating an issue if all trash and garbage items are removed from your apartment on a daily basis. **For a complete list of Pest Control Rules, please see your lease packet or contact Management Office for a copy.

Common Neighbor Courtesy
Please help keep our community looking nice. This is your home as well as the others; please help us keep it an enjoyable place to live. Keep in mind that community living is different from a private dwelling. Although one must expect a certain amount of noise, one must not infringe on a neighbor’s good disposition. The conduct of residents, occupants, and resident’s guests should not be disorderly, boisterous, or unlawful and not disturb the rights, comforts, or convenience of other persons in the community. Please be aware of others on this property. This is a community effort and not an individual property. The facility is for everyone to use. Please be courteous and share the arena. Loud music or parties will not be tolerated. Any reports of a disturbance will be handled by the police. Residents, occupants, and guests of residents involved in a disturbance, or causing a disturbance, will be subject to eviction, and all other remedies provided in the lease, and prosecuted to the full extent allowed by law. Loud music is not to be played from a vehicle with windows and/or doors open while parked in the parking lot. Any violations your guests commit, you are held responsible for, and you as a resident will pay for their mistakes. All common areas, such as patio entryways, parking lots, etc. are subject to all rules, policies, and regulations are to be complied with in their entirety. If any community rule, policy, or regulation is violated more than three times, the resident will be subject to a notice to vacate or eviction. Each violation notification is submitted in writing and is subject to a fine after the third warning, an eviction notice will be served. Common sense and courtesy go a long way.

If additional occupants cause such occupancy standard to exceed during the lease term residents must either (1) Move into another dwelling of the owner that has more bedrooms and is available for rent at the time the current lease expires, or (2) move out at the time the current lease expires.
