You don’t want to be charged for damages you didn’t cause, so verifying the move-in inspection will show that everything, except as noted on the inspection, you agree with.
We accept checks or money orders only. No cash. No credit or debit cards.
That depends. If you have broken something in your unit, you will be charged for fixing it. If, due to ‘normal wear and tear’ something breaks, you will not be charged. The maintenance department report will indicate to the office whether or not the repaired damage was tenant caused.
Call the work order line and report the damage. Do not try to fix it yourself!
Call the work order line and report the problem. If it is the weekend, call the Emergency Phone and the maintenance department will give you instructions.
Call the work order line and report the problem. You may be asked to put an “Out of Order” sign on the machine by the maintenance department. Do not rely on someone else to call in the problem! Please do it yourself!

Maintenance will replace light bulbs at no charge if you furnish the replacement bulb. If you don’t have a replacement bulb, you will be charged for the cost of the bulb.

Reptiles, spiders, snakes, and birds of prey or other dangerous/poisonous creatures are not considered common household pets, therefore are not allowed.
Yes. That is stated in the Service Animal Policy and is a City ordinance as well. Also, all animal droppings must be picked up, bagged, and discarded, by the owner of the animal.
AHA insurance only covers our buildings, not your household goods. If you want to insure your contents, please call your insurance company about renter’s insurance. It is not terribly expensive, especially if you bundle it with your car insurance policy.
There are a few parking places that are for visitors. Please do not let your friends park in someone else’s parking place. All spaces are assigned (one per unit). If there are no visitor places left, your friends need to park on the street.
All units are no-smoking. You can smoke tobacco products outside. Be sure to use a “butt can” to extinguish your cigarettes when you are finished – don’t just throw them on the ground.
While parking spaces are not assigned, the parking lot is reserved for registered tenant cars only. Have your friends park on the street.
Spaces in the parking lot are assigned and only for tenants. Friends, visitors, and caregivers need to park on the street.
Each unit has one assigned parking spot. Additional vehicles must be parked on the street. Visitor parking spaces are not for tenants use.

Contact the office for a parking sticker form. Once the form is filled out and returned, you will be sent a parking sticker. The sticker goes in the back window on the driver’s side of the car. Be sure to get a new sticker when you get a new car.
You were parked somewhere you should not have been. The sticker is a 24-hour notice that a towing company will be called to tow the vehicle unless it is moved.
Because AHA pays for water, car washing in the parking lot is not allowed.
As stated in the parking policy, no auto maintenance is allowed in the parking lots.
First call the office to get a form. Once completed, the maintenance department will draw a sketch of where/how the dish can be installed. Only after you have that sketch should you call the company to schedule installation. In some cases, maintenance will need to be on site when the dish is installed so cables can be run underneath the vinyl siding.
Call the City of Anacortes about installation. The City will then call AHA and set up a time to consult with maintenance regarding installation.
Ziply Fiber (formerly Frontier) and Comcast both offer the services you are looking for.

No wading pools are allowed on property due to liability issues.
All units are no-smoking. You can smoke tobacco products outside and 25 feet away from the building. Please be aware of where your smoke is going so it doesn’t go into your neighbor’s house. Also use a “butt can” to extinguish your cigarettes when you are finished – don’t just throw them on the ground.

You live in federally subsidized housing which means that no marijuana (or other drugs) are allowed on property.
Call either the police department or the office, depending on the circumstances. If you can get a photo safely, that is probably a good idea. Also be sure to lock your doors when you are not home.
Any time you are going to be gone longer than 7 days, please let the office know.
When living in multi-family housing, all barbeque grills must be operated at least 15 feet away from the building. These rules apply to all grills – per ordinance of the City.
No painting, wallpapering or bordering. The cling-on stickers are nice, they don’t destroy the paint or sheetrock.
The first time heaters come on they burn off all of the dust that has been gathering on them over the summer, which produces a smell and sometimes dark lines on the wall space above them. Dust them off before you turn on the heat and that should fix most of the issues.
The first time baseboard heaters come on they burn off all of the dust that has been gathering on them over the summer, which produces a smell and sometimes dark lines on the wall space above them. Dust them off before you turn on the heat and that should fix most of the issues.
For safety, be sure there is a minimum of 6” of space between the heater and any other items such as curtains, beds, dressers, etc. From time to time be sure to check inside the heater to be sure no stray items have fallen inside.

Call the office and request a work order. The couch (or whatever item needs to be hauled off) must stay inside your unit until the maintenance department comes to pick it up. You will be charged for this service.

Fill out the form Change of Income/Family Composition within 10 days of the change. Be sure to put down who your employer is so the office can email you a Verification of Employment form for your new boss to fill out. It is your responsibility to report all changes within 10 days!
You can, as long as you understand that any damage caused by the installation job will be billed to you.
All locks are changed between tenants. If you are concerned about safety, you can call the office and request a lock change. You will be charged for this service.
These are fire doors and as a matter of safety for everyone in the building, those doors must be kept closed.
Call the office and put in a work order. When your keys are ready, you will need to pick them up at the office or make arrangements with the maintenance department. There is a charge for replacement keys – or if you decide you want your locks changed instead, there is a charge for that too. You will be sent a bill in the mail.
Call the office and put in a work order. The maintenance department can reprogram the numbers in the box.
This could be a couple of issues. The original windows in the Hotel have a rope-and-weight system to assist with opening and closing. Sometimes these systems break and need to be repaired. The other situation happens in the fall when, after a dry summer, we get rain and lots of humidity. The wood on the windows swells, making it very difficult to close them.
Because the Wilson Hotel is a Historical Building, as much of the original equipment has to be salvaged/used as possible. The windows are no exception. Placing a towel to block the draft coming in will help.
Call the office and put in a work order. It is possible that, if the screens are laying on the ground, the maintenance department will pick them up during their morning rounds. Screens have to be on the windows, so when they are fixed be sure to teach your kids to be gentle with them.
Area rugs are a great option. Large remnants of carpeting can give you that “wall to wall” carpeted feel – however, you may not permanently install any carpet in your apartment.
No. HUD is very specific about locks and the fact that additional locking mechanisms are not allowed in the event a child or disabled person could get stuck in the room. A suggestion is to use a contact alarm that will sound when the door is opened.
During office hours, call the office and put in a work order. After hours, call the emergency phone to report and describe the problem.
Call the office and ask for a work order so maintenance can come and look over the situation and make recommendations.
Call the office and put in a work order.
Yes, as long as it is ‘necessary’ to enable another family member to work or go to school. Call the office for the form, or print it from the forms available on our website.
AHA conducts annual inspections of each unit we own. We are checking to be sure everything works the way it should, batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors will be changed, all outlets will be checked to be sure they work. Light fixtures will be checked to be sure there are bulbs in all of the sockets. Toilet, tub, sink will be tested to be sure they drain correctly. Housekeeping will be checked to be sure you are in compliance with the Housekeeping Standards you signed with your lease.
Anything you believe to be dangerous to your health or safety or that could cause serious damage or loss of property. Plugged toilets or sinks. Refrigerator doesn’t work. Oven doesn’t work. Water leaking.
