BBQs
Please be sure to keep your BBQ’s away from the siding. It melts and is a costly repair which will be charged to the tenant.

DRY SPOTS!
ATTENTION all tenants, even if you are not responsible for the yard and if it is provided, please report dry areas so we prevent further problems, and those that their lease states you are responsible for the yard care to help prevent costly repairs to your yard.Please remember to water your yard to prevent the lawn from drying out or dying. Also don't forget to feed your lawns for good color and health. If dry spots occur increase watering on sprinkler timer if you have.Neglect also entails the following not being done, weeds in the grass, overgrowth of grass, being properly watered, and debris that is not considered lawn items.If the yard is being neglected, the landlord reserves the right to contract out our yard care professional, the tenant will then incur the cost of the lawn maintenance. Thanks for your cooperation. If you have questions please email the maintenance dept and maintenance@frpmrentals.com

HAVE A GREAT INDEPENDENCE DAY!
REMINDER to also get your rent in by the 5th.Our office will be closed, there is a drop box in the front door that will be checked by 5:00 on that day- make sure your rent it in there by that time to prevent late fees!

AIR CONDITIONERS
Summer weather is right around the corner! As the heat continues to rise, it is important to use the air conditioning units properly. Air Conditioners are not designed to make hot air cold in a short amount of time. Leaving the air conditioner unit off all day and then turning the thermostat to a very low temperature in the evening and expecting this to cool your home or apartment will not work. This freezes up the air conditioner! Air conditioners cool and condition the air, but gradually. The proper way to use the air conditioner is to regulate the temperature. Adjust your thermostat to the temperature you prefer (nothing lower than 68 degrees) and keep it there throughout the day and night. This will save you money because it uses less energy to regulate than it does turning the air conditioner on and off.

REMEMBER TO also check/change your air filters, this is a tenant responsibility. If we are sent due to a/c not working and they change filters you will be charged!
