Operating Your Water Shut-Off Valves

In the event of any type of overflow or water flooding, please check for a shut off valve and close that before calling maintenance. The main water shut off valve for your apartment is located in the furnace room or closet.  They have been tagged with "Main Water Shut Off" tags. Separate hot and cold shut off valves are located under the sinks. If the overflow is being caused by your commode, there is a "flapper" located in the toilet tank which can be secured over the opening and will stop the flow of water.  Be sure to turn off the valve behind the commode to shut off the water.

4 Home Safety Tips to Help You Sleep Easy

Home safety tips may seem like common sense, but don’t get careless and leave yourself open to crime. Here are four safety tips to consider. (Don’t forget to look into buying renters insurance, too!)

Safety Tip #1: Lock Your Door
Believe it or not, this is one of the most important home safety tips. Remember, most burglars are looking for the easiest opportunity. We’ve all left a door unlocked while we get the second load of groceries out of the car. You think you’ll just be gone for a minute, and you don’t want to have to fumble with the key again. You can always set the groceries down beside your door, unlock it, and pick them up again. Also, don’t leave a hidden key in a plant, under the mat, in a fake rock, or anywhere near your door.

Safety Tip #2: Leave the Light On
Leave a light on for safety, especially when you know you’ll be coming home after dark. If you’re worried about running up the utility bill and going through bulbs, use a compact fluorescent bulb. You might also put on some music at a low volume.

Safety Tip #3: Be Careful When Answering the Door
Don’t just open your door to anyone, especially when you’re not expecting them. Use that peephole if you have one.

Safety Tip #4: Get to Know Your Neighbors
We recommend finding an neighbor who can be a friend. You can look out for each other. Also, if you should have an emergency, strangers in your community may ignore you out of fear, but if they know you, chances are they’ll open the door or at least try and get some help.



These tips are provided for informational purposes only and are to be used at your own discretion.  We can not guarantee your safety but are happy to provide suggestions and tips such as these.
