Pest control

Ensure that you service your air-conditioning unit at least once a year.

Enlist only qualified air-conditioning service personnel.

Ensure that clogged/dirty filters are routinely cleaned or replaced.

Conduct regular maintenance of the smoke/heat detectors within your apartment.

Refrain from smoking in non-designated areas.

Never throw cigarette butts from your balcony.

Contact your concierge to have your water supply turned off till you are back. This will prevent any leaks that could damage your property.

Ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your home while you’re away.

Secure your home effectively; close and lock all windows and doors.

Inspect all pipes for leaks. If you find damp spots around the house, call a reliable plumber to take a look.

If you’ve been away, the drain pipes may have dried up allowing sewage gases to seep into your home. Pour water down all drains if the odour seems to be coming from them.

All dogs must be kept on a leash when not within the boundary walls of your property.

Any dog mess deposited on the community must be promptly removed and disposed of in a sanitary manner by the dog handler.

All pets must wear appropriate identification tags at all times when outdoors.
