Any pet that you may have in your apartment needs to be registered immediately to avoid any pet fines.
 
Please "walk" pets away from the buildings. Pet owners are responsible for clean up of all pet wastes; failure to do so will necessitate a charge. The fine will be deducted from the pet deposit and the pet owner will have twenty-one (21) days to replenish the deposit or remove the pet from the premises. Any damage to the shrubbery or landscape areas will be the sole responsibility of the pet owner. *This is in accordance with the Blacksburg Town Code, Section 4-32, Ordinance No. 805, §1,4-26-88.
 
In Case of a Grease Fire: What to Do!
   1. Do not use water on a grease fire!! Start evacuating everyone from the area. Fires spread extremely fast and can overwhelm victims in minutes.
  2. CALL 911. There is no reason to wait, and the fire department can always go back to the station if you are able to get the fire out without their help.
  3. The easiest way to smother a grease fire is to cover it with a pan lid. Be careful with glass lids - they can break from the extreme heat of an open flame.
  4. Grease fires can also be smothered with baking soda, but it takes a lot of baking soda to do the trick. Unless the baking soda is easily accessible, it is usually quicker to find a lid.
 
A dry chemical fire extinguisher can work too but it can contaminate your kitchen and your food.
 
Recycling Information
Contamination in Blacksburg's residential recycling is a major problem. When using the recycling bins please make sure to clean any items you are placing in the bins by simply rinsing them off.

Parking Policy
 Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis and is not individually assigned.
  1. To assure adequate parking for residents' vehicles, boats and trailers and other recreational vehicles are not allowed.
  2. Out of respect for your neighbors, if you have two vehicles, please park one of them in a lesser-used section of the lot and ask guests to use auxiliary parking lots or street parking.
  3. Do not park in front of dumpsters, on the grass, in fire lanes, on yellow lines, on curbs, on sidewalks, etc. Improperly parked vehicles will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense*, without notice.
  4. Please park regularly-used motorcycles two to a space whenever possible. Due to fire regulations, motorcycles and motorbikes cannot be parked on balconies, decks, common areas or inside the apartment.

Please observe these rules; they mean adequate parking for everyone. Should there be a parking problem, please contact the Welcome Center.
 
Heating and Cooling Your Apartment
While operating your heating/cooling unit, do not leave your windows and/or doors open. This will cause excessive wear and tear as well as significantly increase the cost of utilities for your apartment home. If you are found to be operating the heating/cooling unit and leaving your windows and/or doors open, you will be fined $50 for the first offense. Continued violation of the policy could lead to an increased fine of $100.
 
You can also be responsible for paying repair and maintenance costs when damage occurs from overtaxing the heating/cooling unit. This expense can include resources, equipment and/or labor. Foxridge reserves the right to bill residents for improper and excessive use of the equipment and utilities. To avoid fines and damage costs, windows and doors should not be left open when using the heating/cooling unit.
 
Renters Insurance
 Just as a quick reminder Foxridge does not require residents to have renters insurance; however, we strongly recommend you to have it. The insurance is relatively inexpensive and will cover damage if an unfortunate event were to occur. If you have questions regarding renters insurance, please call the Welcome Center at (888) 737-3568.
 
Lockout Policy
The lockout fee is $25.00. This fee applies to all lockout calls before or after office hours on weekends and on holidays.

Garbage Disposals
 Your garbage disposal will automatically shut off when it is overloaded. To keep it from being overloaded you should not put things in it such as potato peels or rice. To attempt to start an inoperable disposal, push the red or black button on the bottom of the garbage disposal. If it fails to start, please report it to the Welcome Center at (888) 737-3568.
 
Condition Reports
 During the move-in process at the Welcome Center, a condition report is given to the first person to take possession of the apartment. The condition report must be completed within 5 days of the commencement of your lease. This list will be used to correct any problems in your apartment.
 
This also serves to insure a correct assessment of the damage in your apartment when you vacate. The maintenance staff will be entering your apartment to complete any work from the condition report within 30 days of the receipt of this report.
