APARTMENT SAFETY INFORMATION

General Guidelines

Your safety is a top priority - while safety or security cannot be guaranteed, the sense of comfort you feel in the community is important. The Fountains has various features and policies in place to safeguard residents and the community. However, the best manager of your safety is you.

Throughout the following pages are some tips and guidelines you can use to protect yourself and your belongings.

Emergency Maintenance Phone Number: (469) 828-1139

Observe Community Rules & Regulations

All policies are in place to protect residents and ensure a healthy and safe living experience. So, for everyone’s enjoyment, be sure to follow the community’s policies (both posted and in your lease agreement) for all common areas and amenities.

Avoid Risky or Dangerous Behavior

Using The Fountains community facilities and amenities is solely at the risk of the residents, occupants, and guests. Please take responsibility in avoiding risky, dangerous behavior that could potentially harm yourself or others when using the amenities.

As stated in your Apartment Lease Contract and in the Texas Apartment Association Security Guidelines for Residents, the community provides no guarantee of personal safety or security. The Fountains does not provide personal security services for residents or their guests. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you:

Obtain adequate renter’s insurance coverage for your personal belongings.

Obtain adequate automobile insurance coverage.

If you notice any suspicious activity, call 911. DO NOT call the Management Office until you have contacted 911. This will waste precious time.

Help fight crime by calling 911 in any emergency or if you ever feel like your safety is threatened. Report any suspicious activity you observe, and help the police by focusing on details, like tag numbers, make and color of car, landmarks, and detailed descriptions of individuals.

Have your keys handy so you can access your car or home quickly.

Only open your door if you can identify or are expecting a guest, and never leave young children at home unattended.

Report Solicitors & Salespeople

The Fountains does not welcome door-to-door solicitors or salespeople in the community. If you spot any solicitors around the community, contact the Fountains Management Team right away. For your personal safety and protection, do not allow solicitors or strangers you are not expecting or who are not wearing Spectrum Properties attire or name tags into your home.

Keep valuables and bags out of plain view in your car or your home, especially around the holidays. Be sure to record serial numbers for your valuables in order to track them in case they are stolen. Items that are generally popular to steal are electronics (of any kind), cash, and tools.

Make sure all of your locks work and keep your doors and windows locked, even if you are at home or think you will be gone from your car or home for just a few minutes.

Avoid walking alone when possible, and stay in well-traveled and well-lit areas.

Let the Fountains Community Team know if any hallway or parking lot lights are out.

Avoid walking around with target items, like a cell phone or cash, in plain view.

If you are ever confronted by someone trying to rob you, stay calm and comply with the suspect’s demands. Obtain a good description and immediately call the police when you are safe. Do not call friends or family first.

Do not discharge a firearm on the property, except when allowed to by law.

Never display a gun, knife, or other weapon in the common area or in a way that may alarm others.

Fire

Part of living in a community is understanding that your actions may affect your neighbors. Always take extra care to ensure that you are safe when in situations with higher risks of starting fires, such as cooking. Fire extinguishers are located at a close proximity to each door throughout the property. Here are a few safety precautions to follow to keep you and your neighbors safe:

PERSONAL FIRE SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE

If you experience a fire in your apartment, exit the building immediately and go to the nearest safe location. Notify 911 immediately.

Before exiting through any doors, feel the handles to see if they are hot to the touch. If so, try to find another safe way to exit the apartment.

If a planned escape route is too dangerous to exit, stay where you are and stuff any doors or vents with wet towels to keep the smoke from entering. Turn the HVAC off, stay low, and place a wet towel over your nose and mouth.

Wave a bright cloth out of a window to let others and the fire department know that you are there.

HANDICAPPED EVACUATION

Each person should have a “buddy” assigned to assist them in the event of an evacuation.

It is important that the “buddy” remain with the person until the emergency is over.

Ask each person the best way to assist them to the stairwell and lead them to safety.

If it becomes necessary to move someone down the stairs, various lifting and carrying techniques can be utilized; ask the person the best way to assist them.

When disposing of grease, always let it cool before throwing it away in the garbage. Pour it into a can or cup to make disposal easier.

If cooking grease catches on fire while cooking, turn off the range, place a metal lid on the pot or pan, and pour baking soda onto the fire.

Monitor young guests carefully and make sure they do not turn on the range.

Avoid cooking while intoxicated, medicated, or fatigued.

No outside grilling is permitted on the property (except in the pool area).

Do not remove your smoke alarm or other fire protection mechanisms. If you encounter any problems with your alarm system, please call the Management Office immediately.

Do not put gas-operated tools or vehicles inside the apartment or the stairwells.

Smoking is prohibited on the property.

Fire laws and insurance requirements prohibit the use of BBQ grills in breezeways, balconies, or patios, as well as candles or anything with an open flame.

Lighter fluid and flames are potentially hazardous to most items, including boxes, furniture, and the building itself.

Weather

Freezing Weather

IN THE EVENT OF SEVERE FREEZING WEATHER, A “FREEZE ALERT” SIGN WILL BE POSTED. SOME HELPFUL TIPS TO LIMIT DAMAGES IN THE CASE OF A FREEZE INCLUDE:

• Dripping both the hot and cold water faucets.

• Turn your thermostat above 60°F.

• Opening cabinets where any pipes are located.

• Avoid slick terraces and walkways.

• Notify the Management Office if any particular area of the community needs attention.

• Contact the Management Office ahead of time if you plan on going out of town.

Flash Floods

FLOODING CAN HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF EXCESSIVE RAIN OR AS AN AFTER-EFFECT OF A HURRICANE OR TROPICAL STORM. HERE IS WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS FLOODING IN YOUR AREA:

• Avoid walking, standing, or driving through flood waters. Just six inches of moving water can knock a person down, and one to two feet of water can move a vehicle.

• Move to higher ground as quickly as possible. Move your vehicle to higher ground if you are on a first floor parking level or parked in a flood zone.

• If you are in your car and water is rising around you:

• If the water is not moving, abandon the car and move to higher ground.

• If the water is moving, stay in the car and do not enter the moving water.

• Watch out for debris and areas that may have eroded due to flooding.

• Take pictures of damaged property for your insurance purposes.

Tornadoes and Severe Storms

TORNADOES AND SEVERE STORMS OFTEN STRIKE WHEN LEAST EXPECTED. AS YOU TAKE COVER, HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR HOME:

• Secure or bring inside outdoor furniture, plants, and decorations to prevent them from blowing away.

• Turn off and unplug computers, televisions, and other electrical equipment, so they are not damaged by a voltage surge.

• Make sure all doors and windows are latched tightly.

• Stay clear of any windows and/or patio doors that might shatter.

• If a tornado is coming, take cover in an interior hallway or room on the lowest floor of the building. Small interior rooms, like closets and bathrooms, are usually the safest.

Maintenance Emergencies

You can make emergency maintenance requests at any time by calling the number below:

EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE PHONE NUMBER: (469) 828-1139

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED EMERGENCY SERVICES. THESE ITEMS HAVE INCREASED PRIORITY.

Loss of utility service (water, electricity) that is not a grid-wide or provider issue

Any major plumbing issue, inoperable toilet (one toilet in the apartment), or major leaks

Loss of a necessary appliance (refrigerator or range)

Sewer leaks

Inoperable gates

Non-working A/C when outside temperatures are over 8 0°F

Non-working heat when outside temperatures are under 5 0°F

Any threatening situation, unsecured door or window, or anything requiring first responder or police/emergency personnel (fire, severe weather, flood, etc.)

Gated Entries & Limited-Access Systems

The Fountains provides gated entryways and limited access to the community and its amenities for your safety. PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING TIPS IN MIND REGARDING THESE SYSTEMS:

Only one car should enter or exit the parking gates at a time. Tailgating the car in front of you can result in the gate closing on you, which could damage both your car and the gates. Damage to your vehicle or the gate could result in repair charges.

Only use the entrance gate for entering the parking lot and the exit gate for exiting the parking lot. Not adhering to this rule may result in damage to the gates and your car.

Always be wary of pedestrians, especially children or pets as you enter or exit through the parking gate.

Although gates can deter criminal activity, they cannot actively prevent it. Always lock your car door and bring your personal belongings inside.

Out of Town Notice

If you are planning to be out of town, please notify the Management Office of the date you will be leaving, the date you will be returning, and an emergency phone number to reach you.

PLEASE NOTIFY THE MANAGEMENT OFFICE OF ANY GUEST THAT MIGHT BE CHECKING YOUR MAIL OR YOUR APARTMENT. THE MANAGEMENT TEAM WILL NOT RELEASE A KEY TO ANYONE NOT LISTED AS AN EMERGENCY CONTACT ON YOUR LEASE.

SAFETY CONTINUED

Safeguarding Young Residents (Under the Age of 16) & Guests

The Fountains requires that a parent, guardian, or legal custodian accompany anyone under the age of 16 or any guests when using community amenities and common areas.

Smoke Free Living

At The Fountains, smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere in the community - including all common areas and amenities, homes (inside or outside), offices, construction zones, and community grounds. This policy applies to your guests and visitors, as well as Fountains team members, subcontractors, and vendors in the community.

Resident Communication

Community and communication are high priorities. Community updates, events, and news will be announced through emails, the ActiveBuilding portal, posted flyers/letters, text messages, and phone calls. Upon moving in, you will automatically be added to The Fountains communication list. You can always opt out of certain communication methods at any time by updating your communication preferences in the ActiveBuilding portal.

Good Neighbor Policy & Neighbor Complaints

Please be considerate of your neighbors and help maintain a quiet, clean, community environment for all to enjoy.

Sync up your schedule with The Fountains quiet hours (10:00 PM - 8:00 AM).

Make sure the sound on your TV or speakers - or any other noise - cannot be heard outside your apartment door.

If you live in an upstairs apartment home, be mindful of your downstairs neighbor and avoid jumping around or walking heavily. Take off hard-bottomed shoes like boots or heels when you walk in the door.

Consider adding a few rugs to your home to dampen any noise.

If you have children or larger pets living with you, please help them keep noise to a reasonable volume and reserve playtime for outside.

Keep in mind that evening and nighttime hours are not an appropriate time for loud household tasks like vacuuming, rearranging furniture, hanging pictures, etc.

ALL POLICIES IN THIS HANDBOOK APPLY TO RESIDENTS AND THEIR GUESTS.

Noise Complaints

IN THE CASE OF A NOISE COMPLAINT CONCERNING

A NEIGHBOR, FOLLOW THESE RECOMMENDED STEPS:

If you feel comfortable, speak to your neighbor, and attempt to resolve the issue. They may not be aware of the disturbance.

If the problem persists, contact the Management Team at (469) 828-1139 or via email at fountains@spectrumprop.com.

Package & Mail Delivery

There are designated mailboxes throughout the community. You can check your mail using the mail key that you received upon moving in. Packages will also be delivered directly to your door.

Common Areas

The common areas are regularly cleaned and sanitized. Help keep the community clean and litter-free by picking up after yourself, your guests, and your pets.

If you notice any common areas that are not as clean as they should be, please contact the Management Office at (469) 828-1139 or at fountains@spectrumprop.com .

THE FOLLOWING ARE A FEW REMINDERS TO MAKE SURE THE COMMON AREAS STAY CLEAN AND SERENE:

Keep your belongings in your apartment. If you enjoy biking or use a bicycle for transportation, bring it into your apartment instead of leaving it on your patio/balcony.

Be sure to take all personal belongings with you when leaving any common areas.

If you use any recreational equipment or shift furniture around at the pool, remember to return them to their original locations for the next resident to use.

Please wipe down any fitness equipment after you are done using it.

If you are using sunblock or suntan oil at the pool, please lay down a towel to protect the pool furniture.

Keep noise to a minimum and remember to use headphones when listening to personal music devices.

Decorating

The Fountains strives to maintain the community’s attractive appearance. Take pride in your community and help maintain it to the highest level of standards.

WHEN DECORATING, KEEP IN MIND ...

No structural changes or additions may be made to the exterior of the building including patios and balconies. Patios and balconies may not be used for storage. The Management Team reserves the right to monitor the appearance of your patio or balcony.

If you want to decorate your front door for a holiday or season, a decorative wreath is a nice touch. Just be sure to use a wreath hanger that hangs from the top of your door instead of nailing or screwing it into your door. Also, do not forget to take it down or replace it once that season or holiday is over.

You may hang items on your interior walls, but make sure the holes are small and do not cause any damage. Use reusable/removable adhesive strips/hooks to avoid damage to the walls. These can typically be found at your local hardware or retail store like Target or Walmart.

Patios & Balconies

The Fountains commitment to cleanliness also includes patios and balconies. Here are a few reminders about the community policies to make sure these standards are met:

ALLOWED

Outdoor Furniture

Towels Clothing Trash

Unplanted Pots

Bicycles

Recreational Equipment

Home Tips for Common Service Issues

Nobody likes dealing with a clogged toilet or drain. Plumbing issues in an apartment building can be a real issue - not only for you, but also for your neighbors and the local water system. The key to avoid plumbing issues is to remember the toilets, drains, and garbage disposals are not trash cans.

HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL PLUMBING ISSUES:

The only items that should be flushed down your toilet are toilet paper and, well, you know what else. Even items that say they are “flushable” like bathroom and/or baby wipes and feminine products should not be flushed down your toilet and need to be thrown in the trash.

Keys & Locks

You should have received all keys and access devices needed at move-in. If at any time you lose your keys, call the Community Team during or after office hours to purchase replacements.

LOCK POLICIES

The Management Office will be happy to make you a duplicate or new key/key fob for a fee.

If you need to re-key your doors, a fee will apply.

After office hours, a charge of $100 will be assessed for lockouts. If you are locked out after hours, please call the Management Office at (469) 828-1139 to dispatch a maintenance technician. Please expect at least a 30-minute arrival time. For safety purposes, you must provide identification before the staff member unlocks your apartment.

The only items that should go down your garbage disposal are items you would eat. Avoid putting anything that you would not eat down the disposal like vegetable peels, fat/cooking oil/ grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, fruit, stickers, etc. These items should be thrown out with your household trash. KEY &

Your apartment is provided with latches on every window and a deadbolt on every exterior door. If your apartment has a sliding glass door, it is equipped with a handle latch and pin latch. Keep all windows and doors locked at all times. Upon moving in, check to make sure your apartment includes the above items and report any broken, missing, or unserviceable items to the Management Office.

Pest Control

Pest control is provided. To keep pest control as effective as possible, do your part to keep your home clean and free of clutter.

IF YOU EVER SPOT SIGNS OF PESTS IN YOUR APARTMENT HOME, PLEASE PUT A WORK ORDER IN IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE OFFICE AT (469) 828-1139.

The Fountains exterminating service will be happy to assist you with all pest control problems that you may experience. The Fountains exterminating service will be on the property every first and third Wednesday of the month.

INCORPORATE THESE PREVENTATIVE STEPS INTO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE TO KEEP PESTS OUT OF YOUR HOME AND THE COMMUNITY:

Wipe up messes and spills immediately.

Avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink, on counters, or in other rooms.

Do not wait to store or throw away food after eating. Store food in sealed containers and/ or throw away food or empty containers, such as pizza boxes, takeout containers, pet food containers, etc. Make sure all food items (including pet food) are stored in sealed, airtight containers and not left open.

Be careful not to leave trash out in your home, or on your patio or balcony.

HVAC System

Do not leave magazines or old newspapers stacked up in your home, and be sure not to store cardboard containers on the floor.

Straighten up regularly and clear out clutter so pests cannot find convenient places to hide.

Use your bathroom exhaust fan when showering and take other steps to keep your home dry, so you can ward off pests that love wet environments.

Be sure to contact the Maintenance Team immediately if you spot a leaky faucet or broken pipe.

The Fountains Maintenance Team conducts regular maintenance inspections for items like checking and replacing your air filter. However, if you think that your air filter needs to be replaced let the Maintenance Team know.

If you are a pet owner, please be respectful and courteous to your community and neighbors to make sure that all residents and pets enjoy their living experience at The Fountains. To keep the grounds looking great and fellow residents and pets comfortable and safe, here are a few tips to follow:

PET TIPS & POINTERS

Some residents may have allergies or are simply cautious of pets, so any time you take your pets out for a stroll, make sure they are wearing a leash.

Pick up after your pets by carrying doggy bags or using the designated stations located in the community.

Remind your pet not to do their business in hallways, breezeways, and common areas. But if an accident does occur, be sure to clean up after them, wherever they go.

It is prohibited to let pets roam around on your patio or balcony by themselves, so only let them out when you are around to watch them.

Keep your dog’s barking to a minimum, especially during quiet hours-excessive barking that disturbs your neighbors can be considered a lease violation.

Pet Types

THE FOUNTAINS GENERALLY WELCOMES MOST PETS INTO THE COMMUNITY.

Any animals that aren’t cats or dogs need to stay in a cage or tank. Aquarium tanks over 20 gallons are prohibited, and non-domestic animals are not allowed according to local laws and ordinances.

Pet Registration

If you had a pet at the time you signed your lease, you should have already signed a pet addendum, turned in a pet deposit and/or fee, and registered your pet on www.petscreening.com. Should you decide you want another pet or you are considering becoming a new pet owner, you will need to visit the Community Office to register the pet and sign a new animal addendum before bringing the pet home.

EVERY PET YOU HAVE LIVING WITH YOU NEEDS TO BE REGISTERED SEPARATELY.

REGISTER YOUR PET

SERVICE & ASSISTANCE ANIMALS

If you have a service or assistance animals, please log into your Pet Screening account for a Request for Reasonable Accommodation form to fill out.

Once submitted, your request will be evaluated according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Housing Act (FHA), Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (section 504), and state legislation.

Out & About

It can be challenging when your pet crosses paths with unfamiliar pets and residents while out and about in the community and neighborhood. Please keep your pets on a leash at all times.

TO MAINTAIN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PETS AND THEIR NEIGHBORS FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE, HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO KEEP ALL RESIDENTS IN THEIR COMFORT ZONE:

PET WASTE

Pet waste stations are provided throughout the community to make cleaning up after your pets easy. Make sure you know where you can and cannot take your pets when they need to go out. Please pick up after them using the pet stations provided or with bags of your own.

Inside your home, all pets should be housebroken. If they have an accident - either in your home or in a common area - please, wipe up after them and use a disinfectant spray to neutralize the odor so they aren’t encouraged to go to the bathroom in that same spot again.

There are outdoor spaces where your dog can run around and interact with other dogs. Here are some tips to help you manage interactions with neighbors or other pets in the common areas:

• When walking through breezeways and common areas, be as quiet as possible so your dog doesn’t disturb your neighbors.

• Teach your dog to walk closely with you on both your right and left sides. That way, you can make sure you are always between your dog and other pets, people, or surprises.

• Failure to clean up after your pet will result in a $250 fine.

• Pets may not use your patio or balcony as a bathroom.

• No pets should be left alone on your balcony or patio at any time.
