Tenant Newsletter – March 2016

Hello SMART Tenants!

We hope that this newsletter finds you well. Don’t forget to change your clocks this weekend—on Sunday, March 13th. We are SPRINGING FORWARD!

PLEASE REMEMBER—WE MUST HAVE ALL MAINTENANCE REQUESTS IN WRITING. Only true emergencies will be handled by phones. Go to the website: www.managevegas.com, email to your property manager, send a fax, send a letter. Bottom line—it needs to be in writing.

ANNUAL INSPECTIONS: When you have signed your new lease you are asked about a day and time for inspections. You will receive a call from the office trying to set those appointments—PLEASE be courteous and return the call or email. If we DO NOT hear from you—a call will be placed giving you a 24-hour notice—Your Property Manager will enter the home even if you are NOT there. Remember we have keys.

BOTTOM LINE—PLEASE RETURN THE CALL AND BE THERE FOR THE INSPECTION DAY AND TIME.

WEEDS & GARBAGE CANS! We are getting TONS of nasty letters from the HOA’s about these minor issues—PLEASE make sure you put the trash cans away and if you see a weed—PULL IT!

If you find

that pot of

gold—let me

know—I’m

willing to

share!

 

Irish Blessing

May the roads rise

To meet you,

May the winds

Be always at your back,

May the sun shine

Warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft

Upon your fields,

And until we meet again

May God hold you

In the hollow of

His hand.
