Q. Where do I pay my rent?
A. Mail your check or money order to Hiawatha Plaza, 801 N. 4th St.,
Hiawatha, KS 66434 or slide it under the Manager's office door in the Atrium
Building so that it arrives no later than the fifth of the month. If it arrives
after the fifth of the month, then it is considered late and substantial,
additional fees will apply.
Q. How often is the trash collected?
A. Trash is collected every Monday and Friday.
Q. How many parking spaces do I have?
A. Three, one is in your garage, one is immediately in front of your
garage, and one is under the carport. Parking any place else, except in the
designated parking area, is prohibited. This includes both you and your guests.
Q. May I paint my apartment?
A. Yes, but only with the same paint we use in all the apartments in this
complex. Caution! Please check with the manager before painting anything. If you
use the wrong paint, you may end up owing us to re-paint your unit to specification.
Q. There are bugs in my apartment. What should I do?
A. The exterior of your apartment is treated once each month. If a bug does
make it inside, it won't remain alive for long. We recommend you purchase a can
of Raid or similar product to treat the interior of your apartment. If you are experiencing
a serious infestation, please submit a Maintenance Request, or call our emergency
maintenance number.
Q. May I install a clothes line?
A. No, laundry lines strung outside or within the units are prohibited, even
temporary ones.
Q. Do I need to do any yard work?
A. No, unless you plant flowers in front of your apartment near your patio.
If you do, then you will need to keep that area free of grass and weeds. Otherwise,
just keep things out of the way around your building so we don't have a problem
when we mow and trim.
Q. May I wash my car in the driveway?
A. No. You may not wash or repair cars or similar vehicles in the driveway,
or any other place on the property.
Q. I am having a problem with a neighbor. What should I do?
A. Call the manager and leave a message outlining the problem, dates of
occurrence, and person(s) involved. If you prefer to write a note, then write it
down neatly and be sure to sign and date it before mailing it to our office or
slide it under the Manager's office door in the Atrium Building. Issues considered
as an emergency or life threatening should be addressed to the Police by calling
911.
Q. How often should I change my AC/Furnace filter?
A. Generally once each month, especially if your air or heat has been running
frequently due to very hot or very cold weather.
Q. Is the complex locally owned?
A. No, but it is locally managed by an employee of Continental Management
Company of Topeka. Local contractors are used as necessary in almost all
situations and equipment and supplies are purchased here as much as possible.
Currently, this is the only property we manage in Hiawatha, however we do manage
numerous other properties throughout Kansas as well as some properties in Texas.
Q. Do you provide snow removal?
A. Yes, for the street, driveway and sidewalks.
