HOUSEKEEPING
Regular housekeeping supports healthier living conditions for your household and helps protect the quality of our communities. The Agency remains committed to providing support through maintenance services and inspections when needed, and we appreciate your continued partnership in keeping our neighborhoods clean, safe, and well cared for.


RENT COLLECTION
Edgemont Elms has received about 41% of this month's rent. Rent payments help us keep our community safe, clean, and running smoothly. They cover maintenance, utilities, staff, and community programs.

If you're having trouble paying your rent, please contact the management office as soon as possible. We're here to help and can talk with you about payment options or connect you with resources that may be available.


SECURITY LIGHTING

New security lights will be installed at the rear of Edgemont Elms to improve safety and visibility in common areas and walkways during evening hours.

Work crews may be present near buildings, sidewalks, and parking areas during installation.

Please follow any temporary signage posted and use caution in work areas. We appreciate your patience while this improvement is underway!


COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP

Various full trash bags on the ground between buildings.

Staff recently completed a community clean-up, removing trash and debris from common areas. To keep Edgemont Elms looking its best, please:

  • Dispose of household trash in designated areas
  • Remove personal items from walkways, stairwells, and grassy areas

When everyone pitches in, it makes a difference - thank you for doing your part!

INSPECTIONS

In preparation, Edgemont Elms will soon be inspected by HUD to ensure we meet federal housing standards.

Please help us prepare by:

  • Keeping your apartment clean and clutter-free
  • Making sure smoke detectors are in place and undamaged
  • Keeping hallways and exits clear
  • Disposing of trash properly
  • Reporting any maintenance issues to the office

Inspectors may need access to your unit; management will notify you in advance if so.

Your cooperation is necessary in helping our community maintain HUD standards and continue providing quality housing for all residents.
