Welcome Fall 2024!

Welcome to your new home. Please read the information below for important details during your tenancy

Trash & Recycling

Each unit will have a trash (green) and recycling bin (blue). Please use your designated containers. During the week, bins may be staged at the end of Holly Street, against the guardrail.

Trash & Recycling are picked up early Monday morning. The night before, place your bins side-by-side on the curb starting at the Holly St/Holly Downs street sign. Do NOT place your bins on the Holly Downs Court driveway.

After your bins are emptied, return them to the staging area immediately.

Parking

Park in your designated areas as indicated by the map.

You may stack as many cars as you want in your designated areas, so long as you do not block in another unit.

Unit A & C: Parking may be accessed via Holly St. NW.

Unit B & D: Parking may be accessed via Westhhire Pl NW.

Guest parking is recommended on the east side of Holly Street, the same side as the GTRI building. Do NOT park in front of fire hydrants.

Holly Street extends to the guard rail in front of our building. Do NOT block this section of the street as it is used by service trucks (USPS, maintenance, Amazon, etc.)

Parking on Westshire Place is not recommended.

In-Unit Procedures

  • Thermostat

    Your thermostat is pre-programmed to conserve energy and maintain comfort. You may override the schedule below as you wish; however be aware there is a stronger likelihood of exceeding your electricity threshold.

    Schedule

    Wake 7am - Heat to 65 / Cool to 78

    Away 10am - Heat to 63 / Cool to 80

    Home 5pm - Heat to 67 / Cool to 78

    Sleep 9pm - Heat to 65 / Cool to 77

    Pro-Tip

    During the Summer months, avoid using power during peak times (10am-5pm) to reduce your energy rate. Wash/dry your clothes and run the dishwasher in the morning or evening!

  • Water

    Your unit has a water shut-off in the laundry closet. Turn the handle perpendicular to shut off the water. Do NOT touch or modify the water pressure regulator.

    Be aware of leaks! A small drip could turn into a flood. Inform management immediately if there is a water issue.

  • Walls

    It’s your home and we encourage you to make it your own. Please use 3M Command Strips and Hooks to mount pictures and other items. Do NOT hammer nails and screws into the walls.

  • Refridgerator

    Your fridge is preset to the recommended settings. Overriding these settings may result in heightened energy use or spoiled food.

    You have an ice maker!

    Pro Tip: This is a new appliance so we recommend going through 2 ice cycles to eliminate the rubber taste.

  • Clothes Dryer

    Empty the lint filter after EVERY load. Failure to do so will result in higher energy use, damp clothes, and potential fire hazards.

    Pro Tip: Keep a plastic grocery bag in the closet as the designated lint collection.

  • Wi-Fi

    If you opted for the Wi-Fi bundle, your unit is preconfigured for Internet access on the building’s Gigabit tier. You may see a gateway device in your cabinet or closet. Refrain from touching or adjusting this as you might disable the Wi-Fi for your entire unit.

Outside Procedures

Bike Racks

Bike racks are free to use on a first-come first-serve basis. If all racks are occupied and you do not have a place to lock your bike, please inform management.

Common Areas & Maintenance

Common areas include the greenspaces and walkways. If you have a gathering, please inform your neighbors in the building, and be respectful during study hours.

Yard and lawn maintenance is done bi-weekly during growth seasons and usually on Friday mornings. Please refrain from leaving items in the common areas that may obstruct crews from accessing their service areas.

Roommate Agreement

Though not required, we highly recommend a roommate agreement.

This document outlines the mutual expectations, responsibilities, and rules agreed upon by individuals sharing a living space. Its importance lies in fostering a harmonious and respectful living environment, as it helps to:

  1. Set clear expectations

  2. Prevent Conflicts

  3. Promote Fairness

  4. Respect Personal Boundaries

  5. Enhance Accountability

  6. Handle Emergencies

  7. Legal protection in the event of a dispute

Inclement Weather

During severe storms and winter freezes be mindful of your unit and your belongings. Close your windows/doors, and bring valuables inside.

For tips on weather preparedness, please visit Georgia Power’s storm safety guidelines.
