Tips to Pass your Cleaning Check

2011-05-12T13:54:00.000-06:00

Since we are in the middle of cleaning checks for this month, we thought it would be nice to give you some helpful tips to get the job done right the first time so you don't get charged any extra fees. Here's how we suggest you take care of some common trouble areas in your cleaning:

Mildew in the showers - Tilex works great for getting rid of mildew in the shower. If you spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes, it should come off pretty easily after soaking.

Ovens - Some apartments have self-cleaning ovens. It can take a few hours, so be sure to remember to set it to clean in advance. You don't want it to still be cleaning during your cleaning check! If your apartment doesn't have a self-cleaning oven, a brand name oven cleaner is best, and fume free is available. Use Caution - wear eye, skin, and clothing protection, and follow cleaner instructoins carefully. Only use oven cleaner on the inside of the oven!

Sinks and Tubs - For hard water stains, use Lime-A-Way. It can really shine up steel appliances! We
recommend you use Soft Scrub (with bleach), Bon-Ami, or another non-abrasive cleanser designed for sinks or tubs. DO NOT use Ajax, Comet, or other harsh abrasives. Doing so could cause you to be charged damage fees.

Toilets - All you need is a name brand toilet cleaner and brush to get the job done right.

Windows - Any name brand window cleaner will do fine. If you don't have any on hand, rubbing alcohol from your first aid kit can get the job done as well.

If you're stumped about how to get something cleaned properly, just ask! We want everyone to pass their cleaning checks on the first try!

Happy cleaning everyone!

The Polar Bear Dip last Saturday was a success. Thanks to all who came, and to our awesome divers shown below!

Leaving for the Holidays

2010-12-02T12:55:00.000-07:00

Whether or not you are just leaving for the holidays, or you are actually moving out after the fall semester, the following information applies to you.

If you sold your contract with King Henry for the winter semester, your last day here is Friday the 17th. Be sure to stop by the office and sign up for a checkout time. This is crucial to avoid a $35 no-checkout fee. Before your departure please ensure that all of your belongings have been removed from the apartment, and that the light bulbs and smoke alarm batteries are in working order. You may also want to check your account balance with the office staff to see if you owe anything additional.

If you are returning to King Henry for the winter semester, please make sure your apartment is clean before you leave for the break. New roommates may move in while you are gone, and we want them to feel comfortable upon their arrrival. Also, check that your light bulbs and smoke alarm batteries are in working order. This is a good time to resolve any damage issues in your apartment, while every resident is still here.

Keep an eye out for more informational flyers next week.

Polar Bear Dip in a Couple Weeks

2010-11-18T10:34:00.000-07:00

At 10 a.m. on Saturday, 4 December, head over to the pool. If you’re feeling brave you can dive into the freezing water for cash and other prizes—and all divers get a free t-shirt! Afterward all attendants can get warm in the clubhouse and enjoy a delicious Dutch oven breakfast cooked by our very own Gene Harris, Maintenance Supervisor. Whether or not you actually get in the pool, this is an event you don’t want to miss.

2010-10-28T11:01:00.000-06:00

We had a great turnout to our annual Halloween Skating Night last night. Thanks to everyone who came.

Congratulations to Taylor, Briana, Jacob,and Parker. See you next year!

King Henry Scholarship

2010-10-21T11:00:00.000-06:00

In just a few days each apartment will receive a flyer with more information on our upcoming King Henry Scholarship. We know that students get very busy with classes, homework, jobs, dating, service, church, and much more. We want to recognize those who put in the extra effort into their schooling--come January, we will reward the two boys and two girls at King Henry with the highest GPAs from this fall semester. Each tenant will win $50 cash! So start studying, and turn in your official grade reports as soon as they come in.

First Annual Renewal Party

2010-10-14T10:42:00.001-06:00

This past Monday, as a thank you to all of our returning residents, King Henry threw its first annual Renewal Party! Our guests not only received a free pizza dinner, also but free t-shirts and credits on their accounts. That means next month's rent is a little bit cheaper!

We also had comment cards for our guests to fill out. We wanted to know what they like and / or don't like about King Henry. The next day we drew a card at random, and that resident won a $25 dinner gift card. Congratulations to Nathan, and thanks to everyone who participated. We really value your opinions and hope to keep you here once again next year.

Halloween Skating Night

2010-10-07T13:10:00.000-06:00

In just a few weeks King Henry will host its annual Halloween Skating Night. This is one of our biggest events each year, so you'll want to be there. Come meet us on Wednesday, 27 October 2010, at Classic Skating in Orem. We'll skate from 9 to 11 p.m. The skating, drinks, and candy will be free for you and your roommates. We'll also have costume contests for the most believable, most creative, and most humorous costumes, so plan your costume well and maybe win a prize! Keep an eye out for flyers.

New Location for Bishop Interviews

2010-09-30T10:34:00.000-06:00

We understand that finding time to meet with your bishops can be frustrating, especially when you take into account everyone’s crazy schedules. When you combined that factor with having to meet off property, the inconvenience becomes too great for many tenants. So to resolve this issue, King Henry recently opened apartment #102 as the new bishops’ meeting place for ward member interviews. You’ll want to contact your bishoprics directly to find out what days and hours your bishops will be there, but we wanted to give you a head’s up. We hope this will make setting up interviews easier for everyone. The great part is that you not only have a closer location to meet with your bishops, but you also have a comfortable and spacious area to wait in. If you have any questions about this new feature, call us at 801.370.2400.

Also, keep an eye out for our October newsletter, which will be circulating soon. You will find this blurb on #102 as well as information on upcoming activities, housing policies, and more. Enjoy the conference weekend!

Mail and Packages

2010-09-09T11:50:00.001-06:00

We've gotten quite a few questions about receiving mail lately, so we thought we'd give you all the information you need. Your mailing address is as follows:

1130 E 450 N #(apt number)
Provo, UT 84606

Make sure you officially forward your mail through the postal service. This is not something we do--we are not connected to the post office in any way.

Every apartment should have one mail key, generally placed on a hook by the kitchen or on the kitchen counter. Mailboxes are located in two separate areas. If you live on the half the property by the clubhouse, your mailbox is in the set by the volleyball court. If you live on the half of the property across the street, your mailbox is in the set by apartment #56 and the south dumpster.

Packages: if coming through UPS, FedEx, or a similar company, those go right to your door. If for some reason the package was brought to the office, they should leave you a note letting you know. If the package is coming through the normal postal service they will leave a key in your mailbox that lets you into a larger parcel box.

If you are receiving mail for past tenants do not throw it away. Can you imagine if someone did that to your important mail? Just write "return to sender" on the mail and throw it right back into the "outgoing" or "forwarding" mailbox.

That's it! Questions? Call the office.

Upcoming Back to School Dance

2010-09-02T12:30:00.000-06:00

The fall season isn’t just about going back to school—it’s also about meeting new people and having a blast. Now that you’re all settled into your new apartments, it’s time to open your doors and mingle with the awesome residents of King Henry Apartments. On Saturday, 18 September, we’re hosting our annual Back to School Dance from 9 p.m. to midnight. We’ll even have a live DJ who has hosted our dances before, and used to live here at King Henry, so he knows the music that you like. Come meet your friends at the clubhouse pool to swim, dance, or maybe both. It’s the first party of the new season, so you don’t want to miss it. In the upcoming weeks we’ll post flyers to your doors with more details. See you there!

Frequently Asked Questions for Checking In

2010-08-18T14:13:00.002-06:00

1) How much is vehicle and bike parking, and how many permits may I have?

---Vehicle parking is $30 and the permit lasts through August 2011. In order to receive a permit you must bring your vehicle registration to the office. You may only have one permit. Regular parking is first come first serve, and reserved parking is $60 each month.

---Bike parking is free and the permit lasts through August 2011. You may have multiple permits. Motorcycles must be parked in appropriate motorcycle spaces, and bikes may either be in the bike racks or attached to the railings. Bikes, scooters, motorcycles--whichever--are never allowed in your apartments.

2) How do I set up utilities for my apartment?

---One person in every apartment must have the utilities in his or her name. Each month the bill will be mailed to that account holder, and all roommates will need to pay their portions.

---The utility companies are very busy at this time of the year, so don't hesitate setting up your account. Contact information for each company is below:

---Provo Power is located at 251 W 800 N in Provo. Their number is 801.852.6820. There is a $75 deposit required.

---If you are in apartments #1-92, or in any of the four-bedroom apartments (#111, 112, 211, 212, 311, and 312), you do not have washers and dryers in your apartment and therefore need a laundry card.

---Laundry cards are $2 and may be obtained from the Add-Value Station in the clubhouse's laundry room. The machine only takes $5, $10, and $20 bills.

---You can sell back your card to the office for $2 anytime before checking out.

4) What type of swimwear is appropriate on property?

---Women: absolutely no swimsuits that show your midriff or that have deep necklines.

---Men: no speedos, thanks.

---You will be asked to leave if you show up on property (the pool, the volleyball court, wherever) in this kind of swimwear.

5) Which ward am I in, and when / where do we meet?

---Apts #1-28 are in the BYU 45th Ward and meet at 11:30 a.m. in the HFAC Pardoe Theater.

In Demand: Wireless Internet Now Available

2010-06-03T10:29:00.045-06:00

In a recent survey by King Henry, the majority of you emphasized the importance of wireless internet. We understand that, as students, having constant and convenient access to the internet is vital. We are pleased to announce that such access is now possible. Better yet? The speed of our super-fast internet will not change, and the service is free.

Interested? Here's how to get wireless internet in your apartment:

*Come to the office during our open hours and ask to check out a Wireless Access Port (WAP). Keep in mind that this is not the same as a router. Routers should never be used in your apartment, as they can cause the internet to crash for all of King Henry's tenants.

*We'll have you sign up for the WAP, since it must be returned when you check out.

*Then we'll give you an installation card, which gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up your WAP.

*Note that King Henry doesn't provide tech support for wireless services. You may, however, troubleshoot any issues directly with equipment providers.

---------------------------------------

Some reminders:

Don't forget about the Pizza / Talent Night at the King Henry clubhouse in two days. It will be from 6:30 to 9 p.m. this Saturday. Come prepared with a talent and have some pizza! Confirm your invite on Facebook.

Also, the Referral-Rewards Competition continues. We still have lots of great rewards left. So either sign up for this fall or refer your friend. See the office for details.
