Common Areas

DHA has several common areas for different types of activities for the use of residents. To help make these areas/rooms accessible and usable by many persons from time to time, some general rules have been developed by DHA to help preserve the cleanliness and attractiveness of the spaces, while not requiring major maintenance from staff. Some general rules are:

  • Clean up any food, spills, or utensils whenever used.
  • Do not remove designated furniture from the common areas.
  • No smoking in the common areas/spaces.
  • Please leave any TV remotes or equipment on-site for others to use.

Outside Grounds

Help keep the grounds clean, attractive, and safe by removing personal belongings or litter on the lawns, walkways, parking areas, porches, or drives. Do not store furniture, personal possessions, trash containers, or garbage outside your apartment. Bicycles may be stored outside your apartment if they do not restrict the flow of pedestrian traffic.
