| move-in
inventory |
In
the first three days of occupancy, you should complete a
move-in
inventory. In your inventory, you should note any issues from
the previous leasehold for which you do not wish to be held
accountable. Upon completion, submit your inventory and I will sign
and deliver a copy of this inventory to keep with your lease. |
| repairs |
If
you are having problems with your apartment you may use our
repair
request form to explain your situation. Your problem will be
forwarded to the management and repair staff. If you have a pressing
problem such as a water leak or no heating or air conditioning, please
call the above number. |

pets |
We do rent to tenants with
pets. We have begun to refinish the concrete slab floors at
The Quarters and
Mesquite Square and we will rent these
apartments to pet owners - no offense to you or your pet, but we don't like
to lease apartments that have a lingering smell of urine in the carpet.
Occasionally, if the apartment has worn-out carpet that needs replacement,
we will get one more wear from it by renting it to pet owner. |
|
smoking |
Unless you want to live at Brookhollow Garden Apartments, please
don't inquire about one of our apartments if you smoke - outside or inside,
it makes no difference to us. We do still have few smokers at The Quarters and Mesquite Square -
they are grandfathered as they begin their leasehold prior to our ownership.
Our policy is not discriminatory as smokers are not a protected class and
our justification of
this policy can be read on this site. |

breaking your lease |
Occasions arise when tenants
