Hello to All of You,

I am sorry this is a little late. Happy summer! I love the summer. No heat problems, no leaking or frozen pipes and NO SNOW!

As I do every news letter, I wanted to let you know what’s new with us and to go over what is expected of you. We have had a very difficult time these past months. I think due to the economy, we have had more evictions in the last months then I have had in my entire career in all locations. It is no fun evicting someone and seeing their property on the street. Believe me, this is the very last resort and I hope you all know that you could always talk to me if you’re having difficulty.

For those of you who have carpet in the hallways, please give us a break. We have cleaned the carpet several times. Please be more careful. We are pretty full in our buildings, but have had a tremendous amount of movement which unfortunately costs money. Our offer does stand however, that if you recommend someone and we accept them as a tenant we will give you $100.00 off of your next month’s rent. It is very important that when you get the lease renewal you answer back immediately. If we do not hear from you, we will market your unit and rent it to someone else. If you have a problem or need a repair, you must call the office or email us. Do not tell the men you see on the property. They cannot do anything unless it comes from the office.

Please make sure that your smoke and Co2 detector is working. It is your responsibility to replace the battery. DO NOT TAKE THE BATTERY OUT! You all should have screens for the windows, if you do not, please call us and do not open those windows. If your windows are open, we do not want to hear your music. Please be considerate to your neighbors and neighborhood. The buildings have been pretty much trouble free. As you know, the summer brings out trouble.

Remember, there is NO loitering or kids playing anywhere around the building. If you see people hanging around, call the police and let us know also. Please know who you are letting into your building. If you do not know them, don’t buzz them in. Unfortunately, as you know, the city does not allow barbequing on the porches. If you have a window air conditioner, please make sure that it is installed correctly and safely.

We only have two buildings that we allow dogs. To their owners, please pick up after your dog. It is not our job. Please do not leave your bikes in the hallways and/or on the porches. Keep your laundry room clean and please do not leave your clothes unattended.

To our stores, please remember to keep your windows and the front of your stores clean. We also suggest that employees of the stores should NOT park in front of the stores. We need to make our stores as accessible to their customers as possible.

That’s about it. Let us know if you need anything. Contact us by phone at 773-262-7555 or email us (which we prefer) at office@mlcproperties.com

Have a Great Summer and Remember “THIS IS YOUR HOME”

Take Care,
