- Rent With Us
Contact UsWe need to work together to maintain your home.
Depending on the kind of work you need will determine whether or not it makes sense to submit a maintenance service request. Small jobs like changing air filters or lightbulbs are your responsibility while larger jobs like the heater, major plubming, and roofing is our responsibility. The chart below may help clear some of what this means.
APM's Responsibilities
Your Responsibilities
Air Filters
Every 3-4 months, especially during a change of seasons, you will need to replace your air filters.
Not only will you be breathing cleaner air, you will help us extend the life of the home's HVAC systems.
Light Bulbs
Energy-efficient bulbs help the environment and lower your electricity bill!
HOA/Municipal Requirements
If your home is in a Homeowners Association (HOA) or a municipality with rules and regulations for the appearance and/or safety of the neighborhood, you will need to abide by these rules.
We don't make up these rules, and sometimes they are down-right silly. However, any violations are your responsibility according to your lease.
A few examples might include lawn care, keeping driveways free of oil stains, proper storage of trash containers, timely removal of holiday decorations, walking pets on leash, no signage on the home, etc.
Pest Control & Trash Disposal
Hopefully, you will never have pests in your home. Proper garbage disposal according to local ordinances should address most if not all of your pest control needs.
Should any come up despite your best efforts, you will be responsible for spraying and/or leaving traps to rid the home of any unwanted visitors. If you have done everything you can to no avail, place a service request and we'll come and take a look.
Lawncare
You are responsible for general yard care. This includes the following:
- Mow your lawn regularly
- Water the lawn and any plants
- Trim tree branches below 8 feet in height
- Trim hedges and scrhubs at least a foot from the home
- Fertizie if and as necessary
- Rake and dispose of leaves and other debris
- Remove snow and ice from driveways and sidewalks
- Clean up pet waste quickly
