Below is a list of numbers and/or websites that you may need to call to set up residency in your new home or while you are living there. These include utility companies and numbers to contact in case of emergency.
In an emergency situation, residents sometimes forget that it is of no help to try to contact the owner or manager, who is not always able to be reached outside of office hours. In the meantime, valuable time is lost. For your safety, in case of emergency, please contact numbers listed below immediately.
