For your convenience, we have a drop slot located in our office door at 3946 North Hampton Drive, Powell OH 43065. For proper credit, be sure to mark your name and unit address on the check. This drop box is emptied daily and it's contents stamped with the date received at our office.

Important Info
School Breaks
If you are planning on leaving town for any of your school breaks please be sure to KEEP YOUR HEAT ON so the water pipes do not freeze. Otherwise you may return to a flooded unit with burst pipes.
Other Break Reminders:
• It is our recommendation that you take any expensive items home with you during any school breaks.
• Make sure your doors and windows are locked.
• Use a timer that has alternating on/off times while you are gone to look like someone is at home.
• Have your mail stopped at the post office and pick it up on your return.
Parties
If you are planning a party, please use your best judgment on who is attending. Remember: You are responsible for the actions of your guests! We are requiring that our residents have no more than 20 guests at any time during all parties. There should never be more than 4 people on any deck at one time, and there should never be anyone on the roof at any time.
Towing
You must have a parking pass to park in the off-street parking for your unit. The fee for a lost pass is $50. The Denco Group has contracted with CAM-Car to monitor our parking lots and for towing services. If your vehicle is towed, please call CAM-Car at 614-488-2006.
Trash
Please dispose of trash properly. Any tenant leaving trash outside their door or house, which is not in the proper receptacle, may be fined. Trash that is not disposed of properly can result in an increase in rodent and insect activity!
Couches
The City of Columbus has initiated new fines for those who leave couches on the porch. This applies to ANY upholstered furniture.
Furniture Drive
