-Rinse off dishes before placing them into the dishwasher. This will prevent your dishwasher from getting clogged.
-To freshen up your garbage disposal and sharpen the blades, you can use ice and the peels of citrus fruits. Just make sure you're not over doing it so as not to clog the drain.
-Always make sure that you're running water while running your garbage disposal and feed it gradually so as not to clog the drain. Egg shells and potato peels are never a good idea in the disposal, but if they do happen to fall in, make sure that you're running water when you turn on the disposal.

-Change your air filter monthly to keep your air clean and save on your electric bill.
-Instead of turning off the air conditioner while you are away turn it down a few degrees. The air conditioner actually has to work harder to cool down a hot apartment which will increase your bill and decrease the life of the air conditioner. Using the ceiling fans especially in warm weather also aids the air conditioner to cool the apartment. You can also purchase a programmable thermostat to help regulate the temperature.
-There are several things you can do to help insulate your apartment and help decrease your electric bill. Although blinds are provided for every apartment home unfortunately they are not good insulators. Curtains or some other kind of additional window coverings are recommended.

-If you do not have a washing machine in your apartment or
you do not use your washer on a regular basis, you may notice an odor coming
from your laundry room. Simply pour water down the washer drain to refill the
evaporated water in the drain. This will keep the sewer gases from coming back
through the drain. This is also a good idea for any drain in the apartment that
is not used on a regular basis.
-Privacy door locks such as bathroom locks and bedroom locks
sometimes get locked by accident. Simply straighten the end of a coat hanger or
use a bobby pin to push in the whole in the center of the knob and this will
unlock the knob.
-It is always a good idea to have a few tools handy. Some
commonly used tools are: flat head screwdriver, Philips heads screwdriver,
hammer, channel lock pliers, needle nose pliers, flashlight and a utility knife
