Celebrate Autumn
Gratitude turns what we have into enough and we are grateful for each of you!
FREEZING WEATHER IS UPON US!
When temperatures are forecast to be below 32 degrees F, water pipes can freeze, burst, and cause a great deal of damage. Help protect your rental home and belongings by taking these steps before and during a freeze:
TURN OFF YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
If you do not turn off your system and a pipe/line is damaged, you will be responsible for any damages.
LEAVE HEAT ON AT LEAST 65 DEGREES
OPEN CABINET DOORS UNDER KITCHEN AND BATHROOM SINKS SO WARM AIR CAN CIRCULATE BELOW THE SINKS
LET BOTH HOT AND COLD FAUCETS HAVE A SLOW DRIP OR SMALL TRICKLE TO PREVENT PIPES FROM FREEZING
COVER AND INSULATE OUTDOOR FAUCETS AND REMOVE ANY GARDEN HOSES
Please remember that when there is a freeze notice issued by the local weather stations, you must cover any outside pipes to prevent any damage. It is a good idea to drain and store your garden hose before temps start significantly dropping. Hoses with water in them can freeze and burst.
Be alert! If you see something unusual – for example if your water does not come on, or if you see water leaking anywhere in or around your home, notify us immediately 940-765-3133
Here’s a beautiful DIY idea for Fall!
If you master just one thing for Fall entertaining, make it this centerpiece. Versatile enough for both Halloween and Thanksgiving, this floral arrangement in a hollowed-out pumpkin is affordable, easy to do, and impressive. In a matter of minutes, you'll have a statement piece that will set the scene for any occasion within the upcoming weeks — no green thumb or craft skills needed.
Do It Yourself Pumpkin Vase
Transform a pumpkin into a planter with these easy steps:
- Use a medium-sized pumpkin (be sure it is large enough to hold a mason jar or small vase).
- Carve a hole in the top of your pumpkin and hollow out the middle, creating room for your vase. No need to make a clean cut, as it will not be visible once your flowers are added.
- With an assortment of flowers, style your arrangement. Use foliage to add volume and fill in any gaps.
- Add the flowers to the vase, set the pumpkin on your table, and complete your tablescape!
Once cut, pumpkins last only a few days before starting to dehydrate and get moldy. Using commercially available “Pumpkin Fresh” or a diluted bleach solution can extend the pumpkin's life to 10 -14 days.
| Don’t fall prey to a webcam scam Webcam hacking takes invading your privacy to a whole new level. It’s creepy, invasive, and unfortunately something that happens a lot more often than you’d think. Here are some tips on how you can prevent it from happening to you. |
o Ensure you have up to date Internet security software installed. You can also get specialist webcam activity monitoring software.
o Unplug the camera or cover the lens when not in use; many newer model webcams come with a privacy shield that slides across the lens.
o Look for the camera’s operation light coming on when you’re not using it; this is by no means a failsafe — recent research suggests hackers using special web camera programs may be able to switch off the light.
o If the camera is built-in but you don’t use it, disable it.
o Don’t locate the camera anywhere where its usage might give away details of your location or provide other valuable information to thieves.
o Don’t do anything in front of a camera that you wouldn’t mind the whole world seeing. Hackers may even be able to access your camera while you’re using it with someone else and record your actions.
o Warn your kids!!! Tell them especially about the point above. Even some of their friends could be recording their behavior and comments, then posting them online. Consider disabling the camera or imposing some restrictions.

Tips & Reminders
- Maintenance requests MUST be in writing so please use your tenant portal. Photos can also be uploaded to support your maintenance requests.
- Report any leaks so minor problems don’t turn into major ones.
- Per your Lease Agreement, all tenants and occupants 18 years and older need their own separate Renter’s Insurance Policy or on a combined policy naming all tenants and occupants as insureds. 3G Properties Group should be named on your policy as an “additional interest” so your insurance company will automatically send us your proof of insurance and any changes or updates. If all tenants are not named on the insurance policy or we do not have a copy of your policy on file, there is a mandatory $12.50 landlord’s liability insurance policy charged to your rental property each month to be included in your rent payment. Tenant’s personal property is not protected unless Tenant has their own RENTERS INSURANCE.
- DUE TO LIABILITY, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY TENANT OR OCCUPANT ACCESS THE ATTIC OF THE PROPERTY FOR STORAGE OR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. You are not allowed to change your AC filters if they are located in the attic space or above 6 feet from the ground.
- No temporary or above ground pools of any kind or trampolines are permitted on the property per your Lease Agreement, paragraph 12D.
- Tenant must kennel or crate pets whenever landlord or landlord’s representative will be on property for a scheduled appointment.
- If you have an addition to your family, i.e. new baby, please let us know so we can add them as occupants. We will need their name and date of birth. Any occupants 18 or older are required to complete a rental application for approval.
