Environmental Growth

Notify Property Management immediately if you suspect environmental growth in your unit. Common causes include overwatering plants, leaks, or pet accidents. Signs include a musty odor or discoloration on walls, baseboards, doors, windows, ceilings, or other surfaces.

Important: Do not try to clean visible environmental growth on porous surfaces like Sheetrock walls or ceilings with household cleaners. Let Property Management handle it.
