All blinds and curtains should be uniform, no cheap lace tablecloths placed at windows even though there are already blinds at the windows.

Acknowledge residents have life skills and knowledge. Don't consider us bordering on dementia, nor children.

Security and Location
3 / 5 ★
Consider the needs of residents rather than be dictated by head office. Rectify leaky building faster (my original apartment).
