Porches Time to clear all plastic and boards from the porches and store until next winter. Please keep all outdoor decorations in the rock
areas and in good condition OR dispose of them.
Guest Parking Please have your guests park away from the prime tenant parking. We have heard that parking has been an issue. Be considerate of those who live in our complexes especially if you have a larger gathering and on the weekends when most are home. Remember that many residents work evenings. Most locations have street parking or areas not designated for tenants.
… NOT ON THE LAWN.
