Most of the amenities in your apartment require no maintenance by yourself. However, following is a list of items which you will need to maintain during the lease period. Washer/Dryer Filter There is a filter in the top section of your stackable dryer which needs to be cleaned every time you use the dryer. Remove this filter by pulling the cover plate off. There are two finger holes for this purpose. Throw away the debris and replace the filter. Your dryer will not operate properly without this cleaning and it will cost more to operate. Furnace Filter Your furnace filter is located behind the metal grille in the hallway between the bedrooms. You may replace this unit yourself if you are using a higher efficiency filter for better allergy or dust control. Pivot the two metal tabs at the top (use a screw driver because the tabs can be sharp) then swing the cover down. The filter size is 20" by 14". Light Bulbs Each tenant is responsible for replacing their own fluorescent light bulbs. The ceiling lamps can be changed by loosening the three set screws holding the globe in place. Be careful as the globe is fragile. Replace the burnt-out lamp with a 23 watt compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb. The bathroom ceiling fan/light uses a 13 watt compact fluorescent lamp which can be accessed by removing the white plastic housing. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE BY TENANT |
