Helpful Hints

Resolve Property Management 

Here are some tips for first-time renters to maintain a clean and safe living space:

1. Create a Cleaning Schedule: Develop a routine for cleaning different areas of your home. This helps to prevent messes from piling up and makes the task more manageable.

2. Invest in Cleaning Supplies: Make sure you have essential cleaning supplies such as brooms, mops, vacuum cleaners, and cleaning solutions. Having these on hand makes it easier to address spills and messes promptly.

3. Tackle Stains Quickly: Don't let spills sit. The longer a stain stays, the harder it is to remove. Address stains promptly to prevent them from becoming permanent.

4. Use Furniture Protectors: Consider using furniture protectors or coasters to prevent damage from spills or scratches. This is especially important for wooden surfaces.

5. Regularly Check for Maintenance Issues: Report any maintenance issues to your property manager promptly. This includes leaks, faulty wiring, or malfunctioning appliances. Timely reporting can prevent small problems from turning into major headaches.

6. Be Mindful of Fire Safety: Familiarize yourself with the location of fire exits, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors. Test smoke detectors regularly to ensure they are functioning properly.

7. Secure Your Home: Keep your doors and windows locked when you're not at home. This simple habit enhances your safety and the security of your belongings.

8. Prevent Pest Problems: Don't leave food out, and regularly clean your kitchen to prevent pests. If you notice any signs of pests, report it to your property manager immediately.

9. Respect Your Neighbors: Keep noise levels reasonable, especially during nighttime hours. This not only fosters good relationships with your neighbors but can also prevent potential disputes.

10. Understand your Breaker/Fuse Box : Sometimes, having too much electrical current running through a circuit breaker can cause the fuse to shut off. If your electrical appliance is not turning on, check the breaker box. Make sure that all the fuse switches are in the “On” Position 

11. Understand Your Lease Agreement: Familiarize yourself with the terms of your lease agreement, especially regarding maintenance responsibilities. This can help you avoid any misunderstandings with your property manager. 

Remember, a clean and safe living environment contributes to a positive renting experience. If you ever have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your property manager.
