To ensure a safe, healthy environment, a reasonable level of cleanliness is expected in community areas such as hallways, breezeways, stairways, patios, parking lots and grounds. While Kuester Management provides regular exterior cleaning services, a community that fails to keep exterior community spaces reasonably clean may lose privileges to that space or receive a community bill for costs associated with pest treatment, repairs, and/or cleaning. Trash left in community/public spaces may result in community billing.
