will be charged for all repairs and/or replacements. Tenant will be charged a $50.00 trip charge to any Parigi

(8) MAINTENANCE. Maintenance will be prompt and as efficient as possible. Please help us with clear and
precise descriptions and identification of problems.
a. All maintenance requests are to be reported in writing (per the TAA Lease Agreement) to the office
(445 N. 14
th

b. DO NOT give your maintenance requests to the maintenance man even though he may be present at
the property.

any time you feel the maintenance request has not been taken care of in a reasonable length of time
you should report the maintenance request in writing.
d. Repairs caused by tenant misuse or negligence will be added to your rental ledger account and billed
to you for reimbursement. A charge will also be assessed for unclogging plumbing fixtures (toilets,
sinks, lavatories, garbage disposals, etc.) in cases where problems are caused by the introduction of
improper objects or substances to the system.
e. Do not leave any appliance(s) running while unattended, this sometimes results in flooding your
apartment as well as your neighbor’s apartment and you will be responsible for all damages. Payment
must be made within 30 days after receipt of the Landlord's demand for payment.
f. BUY A PLUNGER FOR YOUR UNIT. If your toilet is stopped up and you request maintenance to come
out because you do not have a plunger, there will be a minimum $50.00 charge. Please report any
leaking faucets or toilets that "run" continuously. Not only will these problems cause high water bills
but also it can result in permanent damage to the fixtures.
g. Management does not replace burned out light bulbs, except in outdoor parking areas and the interior
areas which are inaccessible to the tenant (i.e. stairwells, recessed light fixtures, etc.). Please report all
such cases to the office for replacement.
(9) SCHEDULED SERVICE.
a. Our office will change air filters every other month during the months of October April and
every month for May - September. Tenants are encouraged to change them during the off months. This will
not only help the air conditioning system but also may help on your utility bills.
b. We will check your smoke alarm to make sure it is operating correctly. If you
disconnect/remove your smoke alarm you will be fined $100.00 per incident. If your smoke alarm is missing
or damaged you will also be charged the replacement cost plus labor per smoke alarm. If you disable or fail
to report a smoke alarm not working, you will be fined. You are responsible for battery replacement while
occupying the unit.
c. Pest Control. Extermination will be done on a quarterly basis (every three months). Notices
will be left at each apartment approximately two days prior to this service. Please see that all items are
removed from the cabinets before they spray. Federal law prohibits them from spraying if anything is left in
the cabinets. To effectively keep pest away, we must exterminate all apartments, so please be prepared when
they arrive. Those tenants not emptying their cabinets will be charged $50.00 and $100 for refusing service.
Tenants refusing the services of the Pest Control company for any reason during their stay at any Parigi
Property Management, Ltd. properties will be charged an extermination fee upon move-out that will be
deducted from their security deposit if the service is needed for that apartment. All service calls are to be
scheduled through this office only. DO NOT CALL THE PEST CONTROL COMPANY DIRECTLY. If you are having a 'pest'
problem of any kind, please call the office as soon as possible so that we can schedule the needed service
accordingly.
(10) TENANT PARKING & VEHICLES. Please park in the designated space assigned for your apartment
or in authorized area. All guests should be instructed to park in "visitor" parking areas only. Failure to comply
will result in the offending vehicle (tenant or visitor) being towed away at the owner's expense. Any vehicle
X:\PPM Forms\Rules & Courtesies\Apartment Rules & Courtesies.docx
3
(REVISED 11/27/2019)
larger than a pickup truck or van will not be permitted to park in the parking lots. DO NOT DRIVE OR PARK ON
THE LAWN; this could result in damage to these areas and the tenant will be responsible for any cost of repairs
to the property. Parking in designated "NO PARKING" or "FIRE LANES" will result in your vehicle being towed
without your car being tagged or you being notified. Continued violation of theses parking rules is grounds for
eviction. Working on vehicles is not allowed on the premises. Vehicles that are inoperable, have been
abandoned, have flat tires, have been left on blocks or jacks are a potential accident hazard. Such vehicles
can/will be towed away at owner's expense without notice.
(11) DAMAGES AND ALTERATIONS. Tenant is responsible for any and all damages incurred by visitors or
guests, either accidental or intentional. Examples: Broken window, busted door jam, holes in wall(s) etc. Such
damages shall be repaired or replaced at the tenant's expense. Tenants, guests or occupants are not allowed
to alter the property (interior or exterior) in any way, (i.e. remove banisters, railings, fences, parking area
wheel stops, etc.) permanently or temporarily. No signs, placards, advertisements or window coverings (i.e.
aluminum foil, newspaper, etc.) shall be placed in windows or doors without the written permission of
management.
(12) CONDITIONS OF PREMISES. Please keep outside perimeters of the apartment complex free of trash.
a. In common area pathways at no time should there be any bar-b-que pits, plants, chairs, trash, bicycles,
toys, basketball goals, etc. This is considered a danger and therefore we strictly enforce the use and
storage of these items.
b. If you have a private or enclosed patio/balcony area, you are responsible for the upkeep. Any grass,
weeds, or vines in your private area are your responsibility to manage.
c. All garbage is to be bagged and put directly in either trash barrels or dumpsters. Please do not throw
un-bagged trash in these containers.
d. DO NOT leave bagged garbage outside your door for any amount of time as this attracts animals,
insects and causes odors. THIS IS YOUR NOTICE; YOU WILL BE FINED $25.00 PER INCIDENT.
e. Do not throw the trash bags over the fenced in trash areas. Please open the gate and place the trash
INSIDE the barrels. Trash is collected twice a week. Please report any missed collection days to this
office. Anyone seen or caught throwing their bags over the fence and not placing the garbage in the
garbage cans will be charged and evicted. Please keep the washaterias clean. Report any problems
or malfunctioning equipment to the number posted in the washateria. Please report any problems not
taken care of in a reasonable amount of time to this office. Management is not responsible for any lost
or stolen items.
f. A/C vents and Return a/c grills. DO NOT block a/c vents and/or return air grills.
g. Attic. Do NOT put items in the attic. Do NOT put locks on attic entrances.
h. Thermostat. Do NOT set the a/c (cold) lower than 70 or higher than 75. Setting the temperature
lower than 70 can freeze the unit up and it will not cool. If the unit is not cooling, turning the
temperature down will not fix it no matter how low you set it, it will only damage the unit and you
WILL be held responsible. If the unit is not cooling, TURN IT OFF and call the office.
i. Cigarettes. Smoking is absolutely PROHIBITED IN THE UNITS. However, if you, your guest(s) or
occupant(s) smoke, DO NOT throw your cigarette butts on the ground. Use a container with cat litter
or sand in it to contain your cigarette butts and clean it out regularly. You, along with your neighbors
can be fined $25.00 for littering with cigarette butts.
(13) NOISE LEVELS. PLEASE KEEP THE NOISE LEVEL REASONABLE AT ALL TIMES, especially after 10:00 p.m. Extend
the same courtesy to your neighbors as you expect in return. It is very important to keep the volume level
of televisions, home stereos, car stereos, musical instruments, voices, visitor traffic, etc. turned down to a
lower level. Also, please refrain from washing clothes after 10:00 P.M.; this is disturbing especially at night
when your neighbors are trying to sleep. You will receive warning notices from this office should it be
reported that you are violating this request. Two warning notices from this office regarding excessive noise
and/or unacceptable behavior from you, any occupants or guests, may result in immediate eviction.
(14) SWIMMING POOLS. Pools will be cleared no later than 10:00 p.m. Rules and regulations governing usage
of the swimming pool are posted in the immediate area adjacent to the pool. These rules will be strictly
enforced in all respects. All pool gates are to be kept closed and locked at all times. Unauthorized use of pool

facilities may result in loss of pool privileges for tenant. All tenants should limit pool visitors to two (2) per
apartment. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS OR GLASS OBJECTS ARE ALLOWED IN POOLS.

are not liable to any resident, guest or occupant for damage or loss to person or property caused by other
persons, including theft, burglary, assault, vandalism, or other crimes. We will not be liable for any resident,
guest, occupant for personal injury or for damage to or loss of their personal property (furniture, jewelry,
clothing, etc.) from fire, flood, water leaks, rain, hail, ice, snow, smoke, lightning, wind, interruption of utilities
or other occurrences unless such injury, loss or damage is caused by negligence of owner. NOTE: YOU ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE DURING A BURGLARY OF YOUR RESIDENCE (EX: DOOR, DOOR

(16) ADDITIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE. All waterbed owners must furnish liability insurance
coverage and sign the respective addendum before having either item in the apartment.
(17) INSURANCE LIABILITY CONCERNS.
a. Owner will test smoke detectors and provide working batteries at resident's initial possession;
thereafter, resident shall be responsible for replacing batteries as needed.
b. Per the loss control professional representing our insurance carrier for all of our apartments, the loss
control professional has notified Parigi Property Management, Ltd. that barbeque grills on common
area walkways and private patios are considered as being a recognized hazard and, therefore we have
been instructed to implement and strictly enforce the usage and storage of barbeque grills. Grills
should be used at least Ten (10) feet from any structure and not be stored on balconies.
c. SATELLITE DISH. Tenant MAY NOT install a satellite dish, antenna or related equipment until
these steps have been taken.
(18) EVERY PERSON LIVING IN THE DWELLING MUST BE CAPABLE OF INDEPENDENT LIVING EITHER BY HIMSELF
OR WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF ANOTHER PERSON LIVING IN THE DWELLING OR WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF
SOME THIRD PERSON. WE WILL BE HAPPY TO LEASE TO YOU PROVIDED THAT YOU ASSURE US THAT YOU
