DECORATING

 

Decoration guidelines may be picked up in the manager’s office. Guidelines cover the following areas: 

· Prohibited Materials

· Trees and Greens

· Electric Lights

· Candles

 

For safety reasons, only materials labeled as noncombustible, flame-resistant, or flame-retardant may be used. Be sure to keep all materials away from heat sources.

Painting 

You are not permitted to paint your apartment. If you feel it needs painting, contact the manager.

 

Wallpaper, Borders and Contact Paper

Hanging wallpaper or border print paper is not permitted. Do not put contact paper on walls, furniture, windows, or other surfaces. Removal of these items is costly, and you will be charged to return the apartment to its original state.

 

Hanging Pictures and Posters

Tenants must be careful when hanging pictures and posters. Do not use tape, plastic foam back picture hangers, nails, screws, contact paper, border paper, staples, or wallpaper because they damage the walls. You will be charged for any damage from improperly hung pictures or decorations.

 

Candles, Incense, Oil Lamps and Halogen Lamps

The use of candles, incense, oil lamps, lanterns, halogen lamps or other items requiring the use of an open flame is strictly prohibited due to potential fire danger.
