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. Park 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
