Winter Weather Conditions and Actions
To reduce the risk of freezing pipes:
1.
Leave the heat on 24 hours a day at a
temperature setting of no less than 60 degrees. Please do not turn your heat off if you leave your apartment home for any amount of time
2.
Keep all windows closed. Be sure to leave the
cabinet doors under the kitchen and bathroom sink open to allow heat to get to
the plumbing. When temperatures are dangerously low, please allow ALL faucets
(sinks, tubs, and showers) in the apartment to drip 24 hours a day to at the
rate of 6-8 drops per minute. This includes both cold and hot water. The
faucets should be allowed to drip while you are in the apartment as well as
while you are out.
3.
Leave all drains open. Including lavatories,
sinks, and bathtubs.
4.
Notify management IMMEDIATELY if you notice any leaks. As authorized in your
lease, management may enter your apartment to check for leaks and/or damages
Damages to your own property:
If the pipes in or around your
dwelling should freeze and break, there could be substantial water damage to
the apartment, your personal property and your neighbor’s property as well. You
could be liable for such damages if you have negligently failed to take proper
precautions. The casualty insurance on the apartment owner’s building dose not
cover the personal belongings of other people within dwelling. You are
encouraged to obtain renter’s insurance
to cover unexpected damage to your personal belongings resulting from fire,
water and similar hazards.
Ice Surfaces:
Please remember to be careful of
ice and snow on steps, sidewalks and parking areas. Management will make a
reasonable effort to apply de-icing materials to common walkways; however, we
cannot guarantee the surface areas will be ice-free so be extra careful when
walking during and after winter weather (snow, Ice, Etc).
Thank you for your prompt and
continuous cooperation regarding this matter.
