Cold Weather Tips

With cold weather and snow approaching here are some tips to keep in mind:
  • Keep your thermostat set at 67 degrees and above to prevent the freezing of pipes.
  • Have a plan for what to do if your heat goes out.
  • Check your lease to see who is responsible for snow removal; failing to remove snow from sidewalks can results in fines from the city.
  • If you do not plan on returning to your rental after break, keep these tips in mind.
