Cleanliness and waste

Cleanliness issues include everything from missed garbage collection to residents leaving items in hallways. Consistent reporting helps managers coordinate with cleaning crews and enforce bylaws.

Common examples

  • Overflowing trash rooms
  • Recycling contamination
  • Items dumped in common areas
  • Pest sightings

How to report it well

  1. Photograph the area before it's cleaned so the record is objective.
  2. Note the frequency — daily, weekly, or one-off.
  3. Flag pest sightings as high priority to trigger extermination visits.

FAQ

Are residents fined for dumping in hallways?
