Tenant Contents Insurance

It was extremely sad to hear, and read, about the big fire at the Fontanelle condominiums in Wenatchee over the week-end.

According to the article in the Wenatchee World, 6 condos were totally lost and eleven more were evacuated. Monetary damage estimates are up to $2million.

Although, one can never replace certain family treasures, it is a good time to remember to carry adequate contents insurance. This is true for homeowners, tenants and investors.

A reminder to tenants: Do you have contents insurance on your personal belongings? Your landlord has insurance on the structure but not YOUR personal belongings. The cost isn't as much as you might think... probably about $15 per month for $30,000 of coverage.

Also, if you have irreplaceable family treasures (pictures in particular), I suggest you get copies put on a CD and put them in a safe place such as a safe deposit box. I had ALL of my old family pictures put on CD and they have been safely tucked in our Safe Deposit Box at a bank for several years.

My sincere sympathies to all the families affected by the recent fire. By the grace of the Good Lord, no-one was hurt.

Sincerely,

Your Property Management Team at:

Tenant-of-the-Month

We're going to be initiating a tenant-of-the-month award. We may select a tenant for some random reason (like having the best seasonal decorations, or for being the first to get their rent check in)... or you may nominate someone for whatever reason you like. If you do nominate someone, please give us the reason for the nomination. We'd love to hear about Random Acts of Kindness.

Each tenant of the month will receive some sort of "surpsise".

Watch for the first winner.

Have a great week!

The Art Of Garbage Disposal

As a courtesy to all tenants, I'd like to request you be aware of a few changes that will keep the dumpster areas cleaner and more efficient.

I have noticed many boxes and bags left on the outside of the dumpsters (either in front, beside or behind the dumpsters). This garbage is candy to animals and they drag it all over the place. It is an eye sore and particularly annoying to the people who live nearest to the dumpsters. It's unsanitary and unsightly

The garbage company does not put excess refuse IN the dumpster. They will, literally, pick up the dumpster, dump it, and slap it right back down without regard to whether it lands on top of other garbage. When this happens it is very difficult to get the garbage sack or box out from under the dumpster.

Also, if you are disposing of cardboard boxes, please break down the boxes before putting them in the dumpster. If you don't, there is a huge amount of wasted space in the dumpster and it fills up before the next pick-up.

Also, do not dump furniture or bookcases in the dumpster unless you can break them down into smaller pieces.

Old furniture, bookcases and boxes that are not broken down waste a lot of space in the dumpster. We do NOT want to have to get bigger dumpsters to accommodate all the trash, because that would raise our costs considerably and we would, ultimately, have to pass this cost onto the tenants through higher rents.

Please remember these few common courtesies and it will help your Property Managers to stay friendly.

Thanks!
