City of
Reno Party
Ordinance
The Reno City Council approved the Social Host
ordinance to provide criminal and administrative penalties for disruptive
parties, and to help reduce underage drinking and related issues. The City will
issue the property owner a citation and fine if a party is conducted that
requires the Reno
police to make a visit. As your leases clearly do not allow disruptive parties
at the College Courtyard we should not have a problem. Please keep in mind, however, that your leases clearly state that
if we are fined by the City of Reno for a disruptive party we will pass the
fine and an administrative penalty on the offending residents.
Interesting Fact: The chances of
making two holes-in-one in a round of golf are one in 67 million.

airport in England used to blast Tina Turner songs on its runways to scare

Please Don’t Drink
and Drive
For your safety and the
safety of others, please don’t drink and drive. Your futures are too bright to
be wasted by a DUI or worse. Get a designated driver, walk or call a taxi but
please do not get behind the wheel of a car while under the influence.
Message from Rebecca
I hope that all of you have had a wonderful summer. As
the new school year is just weeks away, we are preparing for our annual influx
of new students. For those of you who will be leaving us, please break down any
boxes you put into the dumpster. We have arranged for daily pickup during the
move-out and move-in period but the dumpster still fills up fast if boxes are
not broken down. As always, it gets hectic around here during flip-week but our
goal is to get the entire complex up to perfect so that the new students have a
great new home.
Safety is
Important
The safety of our
residents is of the highest priority. The College
Courtyard Apartments are under 24-hour video surveillance and
all entrances are gated. You can do your part to make sure the College Courtyard Apartments are a secure and safe
place to live. Never give your key or garage transmitter to others. Please
report any damage or repairs that may be necessary to maintain safe conditions.
That would include lights out in the common areas, parking garage, stairwells,
front entrance and laundry rooms. We also ask that when ever possible you walk
in groups and never alone at night. The escort service number is 784-6808.
Laundry Rooms
Please be considerate of your neighbors and do not leave
your clothes in the washers or dryers unattended after the washing and drying
cycle
Vacuum
A vacuum is available for
your use. If you wish to borrow our vacuum it can be checked out at the office.
Please return the vacuum immediately after use, as other students may need to
use it.
Computer Lab
Residents
using the computer lab during evenings or weekends need to sign-in before using
the computers. These computers are for our residents only and we want to ensure
that our residents have access to the computers when desired.
Loading Zone
Please be aware that the parking enforcement officers for
the City of Reno
will ticket cars that are parked in our loading zone for long periods of time.
This ticketing will be done regardless of whether or not the car has a Seminary Avenue
parking permit. This strict parking enforcement is being done at the request of
the Postal Carriers, as they do not like restricted access to the building. All
residents of the College Courtyard Apartments should appreciate this
enforcement as it allows a convenient loading and unloading area for you,
family and friends.

Apartments are non-smoking student residences. Smoking is prohibited in the

apartments with a cigarette may extinguish them in the urns by the front gate.

Need Storage?

lockers available for rent for only $25 per month. The 4’ by 5’ lockers are
located on the second and third floors. These storage lockers are a great place
to store skis, bicycles, or camping equipment. See Rebecca for more
information.

Watch the Gate
Please be very careful
when driving through the garage gate. If the gate is going down, DO NOT try to
slip under the gate. Once the gate begins to go down it will not stop if you
press the button on the garage gate opener. It will only stop when it hits
something and it could do considerable damage to both your car and the gate if
this occurs. The gate is set to stay up an adequate amount of time for one car.
You will be held responsible for
any damage if the camera shows that you tried to slip through the gate
inappropriately.
