Appearance of the Outside of the Apartment

There is no storage space available for personal property outside the individual apartment units. It is the desire of Family Housing to keep the housing premises at a high standard of maintenance and cleanliness. This includes the outside areas as well as the interior of the buildings and apartments. This can only be accomplished by cooperation of all residents. Residents are expected to keep the front and rear of their apartment tidy. Anything seeming to create a hazard or unsightly appearance, will be addressed by Family Housing staff, including but not limited to, clotheslines, bicycles, garbage, children's toys and storage of barbecues.

Safety, Storage and Other Facilities at North Village

Family Housing policies relating to the safety and upkeep of the grounds in North Village are contained in Section 20 of the Family Housing Lease Agreement.
It states, in part:

"The Tenant shall not store, maintain, keep or otherwise place any items, including but not limited to, automobile parts, hazardous chemicals, cardboard boxes, recyclable materials, garbage, indoor furniture and other items not designed to be outdoors in the hallways, exterior grounds, common areas and entrance ways of the building, except as otherwise specifically authorized by the Landlord."

Please follow these guidelines:

• You may store bicycles, outdoor furniture, and children's outdoor toys outside on your porch and next to your apartment. You are not permitted to attach bicycle racks to the exterior walls of the apartment.

• Tenants storing any other items outside their residences will be asked to remove them.

• Hanging, displaying, or installing toddler seats, tire swings, or any other hanging recreational equipment in any part of the exterior grounds and common areas is not permitted.

Structures and Alterations

Outside structures such as worktables, storage sheds, or play structures may not be built or placed on the grounds. Alterations or additions may not be made on the roof or to the exterior walls of the premises.

You are not allowed to install satellite dishes or external antennas inside your apartment. You are also not allowed to erect any antennas, satellite dishes, or other structures on the roof or exterior walls of the premises or to go on the roof for any reason whatsoever.

Please do not put up clotheslines outside your apartment. They are a health and safety hazard and a violation of the lease or agreement. Family Housing provides clotheslines in each section of North Village and Lincoln Apartments for use by all residents.

Storage space is not available in Family Housing. If you need storage space, contact one of the local storage-rental companies listed in the Yellow Page under "Storage."
