Other Things to Note:
False fire alarms are a frustrating problem for most buildings and are usually caused by resident behaviour (both residential and commercial). To prevent false fire alarm activations in the future, the Owners Corporation would like to take this time to educate all residents on how to avoid activating the fire alarms.
1. Cooking Fumes
When cooking anything in the apartment, do not open the apartment main
door. please only open the balcony door or windows until the fumes
have dissipated.
2. Aerosols in Common Area Bathrooms
When using any of the common area bathrooms at PM, please refrain from using any aerosol sprays (i.e., deodorant, perfume, etc) as these can activate the smoke detectors and set off the fire alarm.
3. Smoking / Vaping
Residents are reminded not to smoke or vape while on Common Property.
4. Tampering with Fire Equipment
Please read all signage installed around the building to ensure that we do not accidentally tamper with any fire safety equipment.
Please note that Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) charge a call out fee each time they respond to a false fire alarm. In instances where the fire alarm was activated by a resident or guest, the cost of the call-out (potentially up to $6,000) is on-charged to that Lot.
Interaction with Guests:
I mostly interact with guests via VRBO, it is the best way to share info and get my response. I check messages every day and my response rate is always 100%. However, I may be able to use other APPs in some special cases.
You WON'T be sharing the place with any strangers during your stay.
Please refer to the calendar for availability.
If your preferred dates are available, please feel free to book them. If the dates that you're after are blocked, they are most likely taken. you might go to other listings in my profile to choose others and book.
Just "INSTANT-BOOK" it if the place suits and if your dates are available.
Please make sure you read and agree the House Rule before you made a booking.
