FAQS

At Prairie Property Management, we do our best to ensure that all of our Tenants are able to enjoy their home to its fullest extent. Sometimes this means we have to place common sense and reasonable restrictions on the use of our residential units. For those looking to live in North Dakota, we have a two-part rule that Tenants must satisfy when renting from us. First, no more than three persons not related by blood, marriage, adoption, or legal guardianship living together in a dwelling unit. This is the City of Fargo’s definition of a Household. Second, no more than two Residents are permitted per bedroom. For example, in a two-bedroom apartment, only one Household, and no more than 4 people can occupy the Premises. (2 bedrooms X 2 people = 4 People).

It is important to change your furnace filter as it helps keep the air cleaner and will prevent heating problems. Try to change your furnace filter monthly or bi-monthly (at the minimum). If your building is new, change it on a monthly basis as it will help get dust out of the air from sheetrock. Additionally, if you have pet or bad allergies, try to change it monthly.

Where you change the filter will vary across properties and furnaces. Somewhere on the furnace, there will be a slot that pulls out like a drawer.

• Open the slot.
• Take note of which way the current filter is facing.
• Remove your current furnace filter.
• Insert the new furnace filter so that is faces the same direction as the old one. When inserting, make sure that the arrow is pointing to the furnace.
• You can buy filters at any local hardware store or online. The size you need will be listed on the exterior of the furnace or on your old filter.
• Please note that if you are having heating problems, check your furnace filter before contacting us. If the problem is the furnace filter, you will be charged a service fee.
• Furnace filters are a resident’s responsibility as it is a consumable item.

The first thing you should do whenever you have an electrical problem is check that you don’t have a tripped circuit breaker.

Steps to resetting a tripped circuit:

• Find your electrical box. This is usually located in a utility closet, laundry room, or the garage.
• Open the cover of the electrical box.
• Look at the panel and see if any of the switches are not in line with the others.
• Check the inside cover of the electrical box and see which switch it is. Make sure that it is the same switch that you are having electric problems with.
• Turn the switch all the way off and then turn it all the way on.

If you continue to have electrical problems, please call the Prairie Property Management office at 701-356-3085 and we will send someone to see what the problem is.
