EASY OVEN CLEANING While cleaning the oven is not something many people look forward to, it is important to know that it doesn’t have to be a difficult task and will help maintain the appliance. Additionally, the longer this chore is put off, the more difficult a task this can be. The ovens here at Gramercy Villas all have a Self-Clean feature on them, which allows the oven to do the work instead of you. If you are not sure on how to operate this feature on your oven, please stop by the office and we can set up a time to come by and show you how to get it going.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AUGUST RENT PAYMENTS! Gramercy Villas and ACPM, LLC are undergoing a software upgrade and will no longer be using our Propertyware system beginning on August 1, 2017. This will mean that your rent payments will not be able to be made through your current resident portal for August. Please be sure to go into the portal and disable your august (and any future payments) once your July payment has been made. The last week of July, we will be sending out an email to our residents inviting you to our new AppFolio resident portal. This will allow you to activate your portal and make your August Payment online, if you desire. We are excited to announce that with this upgrade, you will be able to make an online rent payment with a credit or debit card or an e-check. As always, personal checks, money orders, or cashier’s checks will be accepted at the leasing office. If you have any questions or concerns about this new AppFolio portal or new payment methods, please be sure to come by the leasing office.
IT’S NOT MY MAIL!
The leasing office will be closed July 3rd and 4th, 2017 for the holiday! From every mountain side Let Freedom ring. ~Samuel F. Smith, "America"
One of the common things we see on the property is that individuals that have moved from their apartment and have not had all of their mail forwarded appropriately. This means our current residents are getting mail that doesn’t go to them. Please remember that when you do get mail that is for someone else who used to reside in the apartment, you can cross out the address on it, write “NATA” on it (Not At This Address), and place it back in the out-going mail box for the mail person. If mail is in your box, but should actually go to another address, please bring it by the office and we will make sure it gets to the correct address on the property. Sometimes the mail person has just put items in the incorrect mailbox. To assist the mail person, it is also helpful to make certain that your name is written on a slip of paper and placed in the small slot at the front of your box. If you have any questions on this, be sure to stop by the leasing office for clarification.
