Before Leaving for Winter Break…

Winter Break is almost here! Be sure to prepare your apartment for your absence. There are a few things to relay to you before you leave your apartment for several weeks.

Over break, please only park in the designated areas marked in green below. Contractors are planning to continue the work on both buildings over break (weather-dependent) starting in early January and up to January 17th.

Before leaving your apartment on Winter Break (or during any extended absence – Winter Break is considered an extended absence since it is more than seven (7) days), please be sure to do the following for the safety of your apartment and to conserve energy:

  1. Take your trash and recycling to the respective dumpster,
  2. Do not leave standing water or dirty dishes in the sink, or food left out/open,
  3. Turn off all interior lights, including mini-lights, string lights, and rope lights,
  4. Remove any fans and screens from windows,
  5. Fully close and lock all windows (for locking the windows: LEFT is LOCKED; right is unlocked).
    – To fully unlock the window, make sure both window locks are turned to the right.
    – Close both window sashes (up and bottom so the lock on each aligns)
    – Turn both locks to the LEFT so they are both LOCKED.
  6. Turn the heat down to 50 degrees,
  7. Lock the front door. Make sure you fully close the door before locking it from the outside.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Have a fun and safe Holiday Season!
