Thomas with maintenance was super helpful in fixing the problems we had with our lock and keys. He made sure it was done efficiently and quickly, and communicated about when they could fix it, which I appreciated since I didn’t want to leave my door unlocked. Super great maintenance team, I’ve always been helped out super fast whenever I have any issues.

Thomas has been the best maintenance guy ever! He goes the extra mile for us and fixes everything in our house whenever he’s around or even if he is just stopping by. He truly cares about the residents in our house and goes above and beyond to make sure that we have everything we need. He’s the best!
