OB SERVE

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 Park 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.

REPORT

Solicitors & Salespeople

Park Fountains does not welcome door-to-door solicitors or salespeople in the community.

If you spot any solicitors around the community, contact Park 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.

16

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.

Park 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.

■

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 Park 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: IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE

PERSONAL FIRE SAFETY

■

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

■

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.

■

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 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.

■

■

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.

H A N D I C A P P E D E V A C U AT I O N

■

18

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.

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.

■

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.

Avoid slick terraces and walkways.

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.

Gated Entries & Limited-Access Systems Park Fountains provides gated entryways and limited access to the community and its amenities for your safety.

Please review the following tips below regarding these safety systems.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND

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.

Safeguarding Young Residents (Under the Age of 16) & Guests Park 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. Also, be sure to check the community policy on the number of guests you are allowed to host in the common areas and amenity spaces. Please see Section 06: Community

Amenities for more information.

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.

■

Decorating Park 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

Park 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:

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 IS SUES: 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.

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.

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.

Pet Information Pet Types Pet Registration Out and About

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 Park 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.

45

Pet Types Park 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.

S E R V I C E & A S S I S TA N C E A N I M A L S

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.

REGISTER YOUR PET

E VERY PET YOU HAVE LIVING WITH YOU NEED S TO BE REGISTERED SEPAR ATELY. 46

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.

“ PETIQUET TE” 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.
