Porch, Patio and Balcony Appearance

All Residents
150 – 171 W. Maynard Ave.
Columbus, OH 43202

Dear Residents,

As a resident of Buckeye Real Estate, you may be aware that our company has become involved with several projects and committees organized to improve the appearance of the local properties and increase everyone’s enjoyment of their community. While several local businesses are on board with the clean up programs, these endeavors will require the cooperation and commitment of area residents, as well.

According to your lease agreement, personal items are prohibited on your balconies.
Please refer to section 9. EXTERIOR APPEARANCE AND USE, which states:
This lease is specifically for the living area of the Premises and not for the porch
area, stairwell, stairway, hallway, steplandings, elevators, lobbies, or outside areas
of the building. Lessee's personal property, including interior furniture, kegs, and
pools, may not be left in these areas and may be discarded by Lessor if left unattended
by Lessee and Lessee denies recourse on Lessor.

It is for this reason that our office will be enforcing strict regulations for future balcony usage. While it is not our intention to prohibit the use of appropriate patio furniture, very few of the items that currently exist on Chestnut Hill balconies fall under this category. Please see the complete list of guidelines and ensure that your balcony area adheres to them. Prohibited items remaining on the balconies will be removed and disposed at the expense of the resident.
A 24 hour written notice will be issued to you before any items will be removed. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter and welcome any questions you may have regarding this notice.

Warmest Regards,

Julie A. Hutchison
Property Manager of Leasing
