Preparing Your Home For Winter

As quickly as the temperatures rise, it is already time to start dropping again. While everyone is excited for fall or winter, it is important to prepare your home for the cooler weather. If you are a season homeowner or a first time renter, it’s very important to take the right steps to prepare your home for the colder months. By preparing your home for the colder months, you will feel more confident, cozy, and warm inside your home. With the help of our Maintance Manager, Ben Dickson, we have complied a list of tips to help prepare your home.

  • If you live in a place with a wall AC, turn it off, unplug it, and put the cover on.
  • Dust off radiators.
  • Make sure your windows seal up to prevent letting in cold air. Keep the windows closed and locked during the winter.
  • If you have a ceiling fan, set the fan to circulate clockwise. This helps your apartment stay warm without turning up the temperature.
  • Test out your heat to ensure it is working properly. If it is not, put in a work order.
  • Swap out your summer bedding for winter bedding to keep you warm while you sleep.
  • If you are using a space heater, only two space heaters can run at a time in one unit. If more space heaters are running, this will cause a power outage.
  • Buy winter essentials before the first snowfall.
  • Keep a shovel inside in case the snow is blocking the doorways.
  • Bring out or purchase a shoe tray for your boots.
  • Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If they seem to be working incorrectly, put in a work order.
  • Do not turn off your heat if you are leaving for an extended period. Keep your heat set to 68 – 70 degrees to prevent pipes from freezing up and to maintain a warm unit.
  • If you have an outside area of your apartment or home, cover up your outdoor furniture or store it for the winter to prevent damage.
  • Keep furniture, curtains and blanket’s away from baseboard heaters as this will block your heat from keeping your apartment warm.

By taking these proactive steps, you’ll be on your own way to enjoining a cozy and invite home or apartment throughout the fall and winter months. Stay safe and warm in the upcoming months!

2023 Turnover Recap!

The busiest time of year for our Residential Property Management Staff has recently wrapped up. We made it! From the end of July to the first week into August, the leasing staff, maintenance staff, and marketing staff, plus extra staff from the Roers office are working around the clock to ensure that all 120 move-ins and move-outs are successful. Additionally, we partner with local vendors to enhance the premier experience for our residents. Not only do we perform our normal job duties, but all staff also fill in to help make sure the turnover days go smoothly. We even assembled our own cleaning crews to go into the units and clean before the next move-in to make sure all move-ins are ready. All move-outs are either in person or no contact, which helps staff and residents efficiently throughout the day.

Upon moving in, all residents are greeted by our friendly and helpful leasing staff. Part of our welcome crew will go over important building information, parking lot passes, and rental insurance. Once all the required information has been collected by leasing agents, your new apartment is ready to call home. All pre-move inspections are done by staff before the resident arrives. If any questions or concerns are found during the move-in, staff are available to help quickly.

“The 2023 Fargo turnover this year was phenomenal. All the staff members worked well together, completing all appointments in a timely manner and welcoming all our new residents to their homes.”
Lindsey O'Driscoll
General Manager

Whether you are living in our townhomes or one of our
apartment buildings, we look forward to getting to know all our new residents over the next year. Thank you for calling Roers your new home.

Decorating on a Budget

When living in an apartment, it can feel like you have limited options to personalize your space since you cannot make any drastic changes to the unit itself. There are many affordable ways to dress up your rental space and make it your own! Whether you are a fan of DIY projects, thrifting, or finding a great deal, read on to learn about some simple, budget-friendly decorating ideas to help infuse your own style and personality into your home.

Walls
Mirrors, wall decals and simple wall art pieces are all great options to decorate your space without the hassle of painting walls (if that is allowed at your apartment).

Mirrors are one of the easiest things you can put up in your space to change it up. Mirrors give the illusion of a larger and a brighter space.

Wall decals or removable wallpaper are great options for apartment living because they add some fun, without the potential for damaging your walls since they stick directly to the wall with no hardware required!

Canvas prints or other wall décor can easily be hung to create a statement wall. Whether you find a fun, cheap framed print, or you make some DIY wall art (Pinterest for the win), you can fill a wall easily with these items.

Windows and Lighting
Curtains are a great, inexpensive way, to dress up your space. With blinds usually being included in your unit, you can take it one step further by incorporating some curtains. Whether you use a funky pattern, or a neutral color, curtains can create a sense of warmth and add a cozy touch.

If you are looking for an opportunity to add some extra light, you can add a fun table or floor lamp anywhere in your apartment.  There is also the option of adding some accent lighting by finding some cheap, sticky LED lights on Amazon to mount under cabinets, in a bookcase, or anywhere else that could use some brightening up.

Floors and Furniture
Area rugs, runners and bathmats are all a renter’s best friend. These items protect your flooring, but they are also a great way to add some color and comfort into your space.

Buying multi use furniture is a great option to save some space, and some money. Whether it be an ottoman with storage, or a futon couch that doubles as a bed, multipurpose furniture helps to make the most out of the room you have.

Accessories

Throw pillows, blanket ladders and pottery and are all ways to accessorize your unit. Accessories can be moved from room to room and are easily changed out if you change your theme or color pallet.

Adding a houseplant is another great way to add some color and life to your apartment. Don’t have a green thumb? Luckily, there are many low maintenance houseplants out there, or you can go maintenance-free and get an artificial plant.

Where to buy furniture and décor?

There are so many options these days to take and upcycle used items, or to find new items cheap. Between Amazon, Target, thrift stores, and places like Facebook marketplace or Craigslist, you can furnish and decorate your home for less than ever before. Using a selling platform like Marketplace and Craigslist can also help you make some of your money back when you decide to redecorate.

You don’t have to spend your entire savings to make your space YOURS. These cheap tricks to dress up your space will help you go from drab to fab in no time!

Jeremiah Program

Fargo, ND — Jeremiah Program broke ground on its new Fargo-Moorhead campus in early June. The new campus, located at 3104 Fiechtner Drive South in Fargo, will provide safe and affordable housing for 20 determined, low-income families, as well as an on-site early childhood education center, classrooms where the mothers can build confidence and life skills, and spaces where they can meet with coaches to support them in achieving a career-track, college education.

“We have worked hard together to get to this day,” said Diane Solinger, Jeremiah Program Fargo-Moorhead Executive Director. “Many of our community board of trustees and supporters have been with us since the very beginning, even though the peaks and valleys. They have given us unwavering commitment, and together we are building a campus to bring this excitement to life.”

Why is this campus and Jeremiah important to Fargo-Moorhead? Currently, more than 2,300 single mothers are living in poverty in the Fargo-Moorhead area, a number that has increased 16 percent over the last six years. The majority of these mothers have children under the age of four with fewer than half of them enrolled in pre-school…
