With the end of the semester now being closed, we know you’re excited about getting home to spend some time with your families for the Christmas and New Years season. This means leaving your apartment at Lafayette Place. Going home for the holidays is very important but you must not forget to keep your apartment’s maintenance up before you go and for when you return!
Be sure to keep your thermostat on a solid temperature to avoid your pipes freezing. If you’re planning on being gone for a while, it’s suggested that you do a mass “winter” cleaning before you head out. Throw away all old food, or food that will expire before your return, out of the refrigerator to avoid molding, or smelling when you come back. Dusting off your countertops and furniture will be a lot easier to do when you come back from break if you do one big sweep cleaning before you head out of the door.
Make sure your room is locked, and all flammable material is away from electrical outlets as well. You love your apartment at Lafayette Place, so keeping it safe is top priority! Happy New Year!
