If you haven’t contacted us about your rent and there is no rent, we will go file Legal Eviction with the Sheriff’s office on the morning of the 7th without any written notice to you. YOU are responsible for making sure your rent is paid and taken care of on time by the 1st and the grace period without penalty is thru the 5th ONLY! After that if you do not pay your late fee of $50.00 and your full amount of rent you will be filed eviction on as well. It is NOT acceptable for us to have small amounts showing owed on our reports– the owners are expecting ALL debts to be cleared up immediately. *Lawns– We are starting off this season with weed-kill to make the lawns look better, then we will be putting down fertilizer, and then we will fully cut all the lawns. Please be patient with us during this process as the weather will delay us as we can only do these treatments under certain weather condition. Ultimately the lawns will look much better in the long run but they might get a little tall if we get a lot of rain before we can get this done. We just wanted to let all the tenants know we do have a game plan and are working on beautifying the landscaping on each property. *Unsupervised guests and children– We are having problems with children being unsupervised causing disturbances on the property and with other tenants. As well we have had problems with guests using the recreational facilities without the supervision of the tenant they were visiting. Please note that all children should be supervised at all times even while on the playground and all guests should be accompanied by an adult tenant. Any disturbances caused from now on will be a 30 days notice move out due to the ongoing problems. Please call the office if you are unsure about how to make sure your children are properly supervised while on the property. Thanks! *Illegal Pets– Any person having an unauthorized pet will be fined $100.00 and be given a covenant notice, random inspections will occur until we are satisfied that the pet is no longer in the unit. This is absolutely unacceptable and if the problem continued or reoccurs then we will ask all tenants to leave the unit in a 30 day termination notice. *COURTESY OFFICER ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

Text Box: Easter Celebrations by Jenny B. Here we are again at that wonderful time of the year when flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and the world is renewed again for a glorious season of having fun. Easter is for some of us is all about egg hunts, candy, The Easter Bunny, and all the fun traditions that families love to do to celebrate this time of year. There are many people who also recognize this time of year as the celebration of Christ’s resurrection from the grave. What better time when God’s glory is all around us in nature to remind us how wonderful His grace and love is. As well to remember the sacrifice of His only Son on the cross and the salvation that is offered to all that are willing to have faith and to follow. What a wonderful thing to have hope in times of struggle and to have family and friends to celebrate this joyous time! “ The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified . He is not here; he has RISEN, just as he said’ ~Matthew 28:5
