Security

Our job is to provide safe and decent housing. We feel we can say with confidence that our units meet and exceed this mandate. Although no one can guarantee that there will not be a problem we can say we work very hard to provide the best housing you can get.

We do not have in house security or our own police force. We relay on the experience and dedicated police department that serves our community. We work closely with the police to identify and rectify any problems at any of the housing complexes.

We document all complaints that we receive in our computer data base and use that information to make our case against any repeat offender of the lease so that our units maintain a high quality and peaceful setting for our residents.

You need to do your part. Report any problems that we should know about. Don’t wait to the last straw and then tell us. Tell us early so we can try and work out the problems or at least get started on the documentation that may lead to eviction for some lease violation.
