HOME COOLING TIPS

2009-07-20T10:02:00.003-05:00

*Clean or change air conditioner filters monthly. Make sure any outside air conditioner compressor is free of dirt and debris. The flow of air is the key to cooling, so don't make your system work harder than needed.
*Cook meals, run the dishwasher and dry clothes during the cooler times in the day.
*Use fans to keep air moving. A ceiling fan uses only about as much electricity as a light bulb-far less than an air conditioner.
*Close drapes and shades during the day to keep heat out of your house.

Keeping animals cool during hot weather

2009-07-14T17:53:00.005-05:00

Stoneleigh reminds residents to keep their animals out of the heat during the dog days of summer. If your pet must be left outside during the day, please provide plenty of clean water and constant access to shade.

Animals should never be left in a car, particularly when outdoor temperatures exceed 75 degrees. Since car windows collect light and trap heat, temperatures can rise dramatically, even on mild days. A cracked window provides little relief for animals.

Animal Welfare can charge owners with animal cruelty if their pet is in distress or dies from heat-related neglect, even if it's an accident.

Stay cool!

Pool Party!

2009-06-12T12:47:00.009-05:00

Moving Day Made Easy!

2009-05-07T14:47:00.003-05:00

MOVING into your new apartment can be quite the endeavor, but there are 6 ways to make the moving day a breeze. We wanted to help you out on your upcoming move with these great tips for moving day that will have you all moved into your new apartment with ease....

1. Before moving anything in, make sure that you walk through your apartment and inspect it for damage.

2. Mark each moving box with a piece of tape that displays the room that it belongs in or what is inside. Be sure to mark fragile items as "Fragile" too!

3. Check your new refrigerator and cabinets before you start stocking them with food. They're much easier to clean when they are empty.

4. On moving day make sure to be considerate of your neighbors. Don't leave trash all around or block parking spaces. Try to keep noise down and not move late into the night.

5. Pack yourself a kit of the essentials that you will need upon first moving into your apartment. We suggest toilet paper, bottled water, and paper towels.

6. Have fun and remember that moving into a new apartment is a great adventure with a blank canvas!

Feel free to contact your friendly Stoneleigh management team for any questions about move-in day!

Coffee & Cookies Stop!

2009-03-27T13:40:00.001-05:00

Don't forget to stop by the office for a cup of hot coffee or tea on your way to work or even pick up a delicious Otis Spunkmeyer cookie. It's a great way to start your day and we appreciate the chance to say "good morning!"

Sincerely,

Your Stoneleigh on May Management Team

Questions to ask before you rent!

2009-02-26T16:36:00.005-06:00

Stoneleigh on May - Apartments in Oklahoma City

You wouldn't buy a car without finding out what kind of gas mileage it gets. The same goes for rental property and electric bills.

If you're planning to rent and will be responsible for paying your own utility bills, take time to ask a few questions so you'll be able to budget appropriately.

Modern heating and cooling systems are very efficient. But some older apartment complexes may rely on outdated furnaces or electric baseboard heating. These electric resistance heating systems cost about twice as much to operate as do modern systems. Older apartments also may not be adequately weatherized, and may require more energy to keep comfortable.

Ask your apartment manager, a former tenant or your future neighbors about utility costs. Or, provide the address to an OG&E customer service representative at 800.272.9741 and they can tell you more about the average electricity cost.

Beware of unlicensed solicitors..

2008-09-17T15:38:00.002-05:00

Protect your pocketbook from swindlers. If a salesperson is selling items door to door in your neighborhood, ask to see his or her solicitors or peddlers license. The City requires that solicitors carry a police-issued photo ID and pass and Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation background check. If the salesperson does not have a license, buy beware. Churches and educational programs are exempt from the ordinance.

If you get a knock on your door from a soliciter, please contact the leasing office immediately.

Less-Stress Vacationing

2008-08-28T09:55:00.002-05:00

If sky-high gas prices have you hot under the collar this summer, consider a few ways to reduce your fuel bill (and save the environment, too! as you vacation.

**Consider renting a hybrid and driving to a nearby destination. You'll save on gas and avoid fuel surcharges added by some airlines.

**Use alternative transportation. Use the reliable train and bus systems many cities offer-or your feet!-to get around at your destination. You'll save on gas and get a better feel for the local area and culture.

**Eat and buy local. Often, buying local food and souvenirs can help lighten your budget by eliminating the need for a product to be shipped around the world to you. And don't forget that your photographs are fabulous-low-cost-souvenirs, too!
