A friendly pet policy reminderaround the holidays

Each Randolph Pointe resident signs the Resi-dency Occupancy Agreement and Pet PolicyAcknowledgement Form prior to move-in.These forms state that the only pets that arecurrently allowed at Randolph Pointe are fishand (up to) two caged birds. Currently, noother pets are allowed nor are any pets allowedto visit your home for pet-sitting purposes.

If an animal that has not been approved by theRandolph Pointe team is found in your home,we will follow-up to make sure that the pet hasbeen removed. A note is then made and dam-ages may be charged to you upon move-out.

Please help keep Randolph Pointe in the bestpossible condition for you and future residentsby not housing animals in your home!

• Check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, andits needles are hard to pull from branches and donot break when bent between your fingers. Dry,brittle trees pose a higher fire risk.• Cut a few inches off the trunk to expose freshwood just before putting it in water.• Place it in a stable container that will hold atleast one, and preferably two, gallons of water.• Keep the trunk base covered with water andcheck the water level each day.• Keep the tree away from heat sources such ashot air ducts and television sets. Heat will dryout your tree, increasing the potential to becomea fire hazard.• If you have any questions or concernsregarding holiday decorations, contact theCommunity Office.
