🧰 Quick Tips & Resources

Ice Makers / Water Dispensers

Replace water filters every 6 months.
Flush the line after filter changes.
If clogged, check the water shutoff valve behind the fridge.

Security Systems / Smart Doorbells

Change batteries regularly.
Use the manufacturer’s app for troubleshooting.
Contact the security provider directly for service.

RO Filter Systems

Change filters as recommended (every 6–12 months).
Sanitize the system yearly to prevent bacteria buildup.

Water Softeners

Keep filled with softener salt.
Use a cleaner every 4–6 months to reduce buildup.

Programmable Thermostats

Change batteries when display dims or Wi-Fi disconnects.
Reset through the manufacturer’s app or online support if unresponsive.

Window & Door Screens

Clean gently with mild soap and water.
Small tears can be patched with kits available at hardware stores.

⚠️ Important Reminder

Landlord is not obligated to repair, replace, or purchase filters for these items. They are provided for resident convenience only and are conveyed as-is.

If you choose not to maintain them, they may not function—but this does not change your maintenance obligations under the lease.
