Happy Holidays, Armadillo residents!! Hope you are all enjoying the mild weather..and the cookie recipe I`ve included at the end of this newsletter.. Even though it`s not freezing yet, we live in an unpredictable weather area and we all need to stay prepared. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING, ESPECIALLY IF YOU`RE HEADING OUT OF TOWN FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** DON`T TURN YOUR HEAT OFF! Please keep your home at least 60 degrees! ** Please be safe & do NOT use the following to heat your house: space heaters, stove, fireplace/woodstove. ** Please TEST your CO & smoke detectors. If it`s making a chirping noise, that means it`s NOT working & it`s time to change the batteries. If it`s still chirping after you`ve put in new batteries, call the office as soon as possible. ** If you have no heat, please call us as soon as possible at 970-482-9293. If it`s after hours, guide yourself to the maintenance voicemail for the emergency phone number. ** If you`re heading out of town, leave your kitchen & bathroom under sink cabinets open to allow heat to get to your pipes. ** If you are responsible for snow shoveling, please make sure to do so 24 hours after the snowfall. TO AVOID UGLY CITY FINES: arrange for someone else to shovel if you will be out of town. ** If we do the snow shoveling at your property & it has not been done OR not been done well, please call us to let us know. ** The furnaces are being serviced for the winter and you will be contacted by either Steve Summers, Balance Point Heating or Gary Hooley Heating. Please return their calls when they are trying to make an appointment with you. ** Please keep the areas around your furnace free of "stuff" this includes boxes, vacuums, clothing etc. ** If you have a fireplace, please use it responsiblly and do not use it as your main heat source. ** Maintenance workorders can be emailed to our office at maintenance@rentfortcollins.com I also wanted to take a moment to let you all know about our closing dates for the upcoming holidays. We will be closed Friday December 23th through Monday December 26th. We`ll be back open Tuesday, Dec 27th. We will also be closed on Friday, Dec 30th through Monday Jan 2nd. We will be open Tuesday, Jan 3rd. If you are bringing rent by the office & we`re not open, please make sure your address is on the CHECK & slip it through our drop slot on the right hand side of the front door. If you need to know your utility amounts OR you need to make payment arrangements, please get in touch with us BEFORE Friday the 30th or on Tuesday the 3rd. There`s been some issues recently with people writing out their checks incorrectly. The bank will NOT deposit them & you will receive a late fee! So, if your rent is $925.00, you need to write out "Nine hundred & twenty five dollars & 00/100." If your balance is $647.29, then you need to write out "Six hundred & forty-seven dollars & 29/100." If you are not sure about whether you`re doing it corrently or not, come into our office and we can double check for you. For all you cookie lovers, here`s a recipe!!
