Any misuse will result in RESIDENT(S) being responsible for replacement and/or repair and labor costs. Dishes should be free of food before putting into dishwasher (commercials are not reality, food cannot be left on dishes in the dishwasher. Dishwashers are essentially used to sterilize).

Garbage disposals are not to be used to grind up things other than food. Anything other than food like coins, glass, plastic, metal, etc. will break the disposal. Some food like large amounts of potato skins, roots, whole citrus fruits, watermelon rinds, need to be put in the trash. These can also damage the disposal. Never pour grease down drains. Dipose of grease in a container and throw in trash. Grease will clog the drain and potentially cause a major back up in the unit. Clothes dryers should never be overloaded. This can cause a fire and it will also take much longer for clothes to dry. A rule of thumb with all dryers is the drum should only be half to three-quarters full. This allows clothes to move freely and air to circulate and dry clothes thoroughly. Always remove gum, candy, food, pens, belts, coins, etc from all pockets. Remove lint from lint screen after every use. If lint isn t removed, it can cause a fire and will also contribute to clothes not drying properly. Washers should never be overloaded. Overloading a washer will cause it to overflow and cause water damage to the unit. Pillows and oversized comforters tend to float in a washer and cause water to overflow. If in doubt, use commercial washers at a Laundromat to wash large blankets,pillows, etc. Bathroom fan should be running during hot showers. This allows the steam to escape and keep it from causing moisture damage to paint/sheetrock. 4
