Greetings!
Spring is emerging slooooooowly in Southeast Michigan, but things at Garner Properties are red hot! Lease signings are trending upward. In the month of March, we signed 37 leases and in April we expect to do as many, if not more. Our phones are busy and our Agents are in the field all day showing homes to multiple prospects.
Prospective tenants are beginning to emerge from winter's hibernation and are taking advantage of the scattered sunny days to house hunt for a new rental property. What a better way to start the season, and we are here to help! |
 | It's Spring Clean-up Time | |
Just a reminder that Spring is the time to begin exterior maintenance. As Tenants, you are responsible for general maintenance of the exterior, including gutters, downspouts and lawn maintenance.
During the Winter months, the gutters and downspouts can become cluttered with leaves and debris. Not keeping them clean can cause damage to the foundation and the home's exterior. We found a great article with information on how to maintain gutters and downspouts safely and easily.
Everyone loves to see a home with nice lawn. We recommend cutting the grass and regular watering and fertilizing to keep it lush throughout the summer months. We found another great article with information on lawn maintenance.
Last month, we talked about replacing furnace filters, replacing smoke detector batteries, and keeping drains clear of hair and debris. For more information and related articles, visit the Newsletter Archives on our website.

| Renter's Insurance - Protection For Your Possessions | |
At the time of lease signing, Garner Properties & Management recommends that all Tenants consider purchasing Renter's Insurance to cover the Tenant's possessions and liability. Tenant's are not covered under the Owner's policy for these items. We came across an article recently about Renter's Insurance that we think you will find interesting.
If you do not have a Renter's Insurance policy, we strongly encourage you to pick up the phone and begin the process by shoping for rates. |
| Important Reasons to Contact Us | |
There are important times for Tenants to contact Garner Properties, such as when your smoke alarm doesn't work (as long as you have recently changed the batteries), house maintenance is needed, or your personal information, such as telephone number, has changed. To contact us, please call 800-767-2386 X2 or 734-287-6619 X2, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
