4.     ENCOURAGING RESIDENTS TO MAKE OWN REPAIRS 

We do not hand out paint for the residents to do their own painting.  We do not lend residents our tools for making repairs.  The reason for this is if a resident is injured doing something we encouraged him/her to do, it is quite possible we will be held liable for damages.  The other aspect of this policy is the resident, in many instances, is not skilled in the equipment he/she is attempting to repair and may cause further damage to the unit.

Under no circumstances will our staff be allowed to make an appointment for the repair of the interior of any resident’s unit.  We do not have the manpower to schedule repairs at the convenience of the residents.  We will endeavor to make all repairs between the hours of 9:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.

Our employees are not allowed to perform personal work for the residents at any time…on or off duty.  This causes unnecessary problems, i, e, disputes about sloppy work, over-charging, etc.  This practice also will encourage our staff to use building supplies and materials for other than building purposes.

It is our policy to allow residents to install their own cooking stove and refrigerator, provided, however, they sign a waiver of repair for these items.  This does not mean that we will allow two (2) stoves or refrigerators, we will remove our appliances.
