Before your lease begins ⇢

⚡ gas & electric (important)

One week prior to the start of your lease, please ensure the gas and electric meters are transferred to your name. It takes a week to set up. Per the lease: "Tenant agrees to have the Electric and Gas kept in their name from the first day of the lease to midnight of the last day of the lease until the last day of the lease" — not the first day you move in nor the day that you move out.

On the day you move in ⇢

🔑 HOUSE & MAIL KEYS

When you arrive, the door will be unlocked. Keys will be left over the door or on the counter inside the house. There will be two keys — one to the front door and one to your mail box located in the Meeting House. If you don't see an engraved number on your mail key, use this chart to determine your box number. 

If you don't see your keys, check the back of the door/ kitchen drawers. If you don't see them, submit a maintenance request through Renter Insight for a new key.

Once you are settled in ⇢

♻️ trash, recycling, and compost (no tags required)

Place household trash in the dumpster provided by the maintenance garage.

All recycling should be placed in single-stream recycling dumpster.

📦 RECYCLING RULE: break down BOXES

From large Amazon boxes to small cereal boxes, all cardboard must be broken down before recycling. Following this rule helps to ensure there is space for everyone to add their recycling. When boxes aren’t broken down, bins fill up too quickly, leaving the lids unlatched, and causing recycling to be blown by the wind all over the property. Please follow this rule to ensure that recycling is a pleasant experience for you, your neighbors, and our maintenance lead.

🥓 DISPOSING OF GREASE

Please dispose of grease in your trash, after letting the grease cool and solidify. DO NOT dump grease down your kitchen sink nor toilet as grease will wreak havoc on your pipes.  

👖 EMPTYING DRYER LINT TRAP

Please empty the lint trap before drying each load of laundry. Lint buildup is a serious fire hazard. Additionally, many of the dryer issues we encounter are from lint buildup that damages the hose and vent. Help us avoid these common maintenance issues by taking care of your machines.
