Patio and Balcony Policies
Steer clear of lease violations during the warmer weather!

With warmer weather ahead, we know our residents are excited to use balconies, patios, and outdoor common areas when spending time outdoors. While we want our residents to enjoy these spaces, they come with a set of rules for safety and overall appearance of the property. See our policies below for more details on how you are able to enjoy these areas!
Patios and Balconies
There are items that are prohibited from being placed on patios and balconies to keep the property looking its best year round. Clothing, laundry, rugs, signs, and other articles should not be hung on balconies, patios, or over doors. Only furniture that is designed for outdoor use is permitted on balconies and patios—please refrain from putting overstuffed furnishings, bedding, etc. in these areas. No items should be dropped or thrown over balconies.
Grills
To keep our residents safe and adhere to local fire code, all grills are prohibited from being placed on balconies. They can be used on patios, but they must remain 10 feet away from the property. When in use, grills should be attended at all times.
Doors and Decor
Nails should not be driven into any wooden doors or frames. If damage is caused to exterior doors by adhering items to the door, it will be the financial responsibility of the resident. Please be cautious when decorating doors and the areas around them. Exterior holiday lights or decorations should be promptly removed after the holiday is over.
Other Spaces
There may be basements, attics, and roofs that are accessible at the property. Residents are prohibited from entering these areas and should not be using them for storage or habitation. If laundry facilities are located in the basement, residents are permitted access for laundry purposes only. There are also some properties where bedrooms are located in the basement that are exceptions. Common hallways and common lawn areas should also be kept clear of personal items.
