A Letter From Your Manager....

   Happy Holidays! I can't believe we are already fast approaching the end of the year! Most of you know I have been out of the office after welcoming my beautiful new baby boy into the world. As I eased back into my position after 10 whole weeks, I was overwhelmed by greetings from great residents like you. It was hard leaving my new baby home and returning to work, but you made it so much easier. I would like to thank all of our residents for their warm welcome back! You are what makes my job so rewarding!
   After being gone for so long, I'm still playing a bit of catch up in the office. I'm noticing new faces and am eager to meet all the new residents who joined our community during my maternity leave.
   So to my new and continuing residents alike, stop in and share a coffee break with me. I'd love to hear from you!

Warm Regards,

Shauna Hebert
Business Manager



Are You A Responsible Pet Owner?

Providing for your pets' physical needs and caring for them with love and commitment are the first requirements of responsible pet owners. But these are not the only requirements. Pet caregivers cannot reasonably or responsibly ignore the impact their animals can have on neighbors. This is especially true of those living in multifamily rental properties.

Here are a few commonsense rules to keep your neighbors happy--and your pet safe!

Responsible Owners:
*Clean up after their pets and dispose of the waste in a sanitary manner. Not cleaning up after your pet can lead to fines as defined in your rental agreement.
*Keep their dogs on leashes at all times when outside the home.
*Help their cats stay safe and live longer by keeping them indoors and away from situations where they could become a nuisance.
*Ensure that their dogs or cats are licensed and outfited with visible identification at all times.
*Obey local animal nuisance laws (which generally define "excessive noise" by any animal as continuous or incessant for a period of ten minutes, or intermittently for one-half hour, to the disturbance of any person at any time day or night)
*spay or neuter their dog or cat to improve health and behavior of the animal and to prevent their animal from adding to the problem of pet overpopulation.
*Maintain an active flea-and-tick control program so these pests won't spread to neighboring units, the common areas of the building, or public parks.
*maintain a pet emergency kit that includes an emergency plan and supplies in the event the home must be quickly evacuated because of a disaster.
