Locked Out
If you lock yourself out of your unit or bedroom, you have two options depending on what time of the day/night it happens:
If it’s during regular business hours (10am-6pm, Monday-Friday), you can come to the front lobby to request to be let in. In the event you misplaced your FOB permanently, new FOBs can be purchased for a fee of $100.
If it’s after hours, someone can be sent out to unlock the door for you for a $60.00 fee (*Payment due upon arrival of the rescuer. Cash only.)

Tampering with your fire safety devices will result in being fined by the City of Guelph.

How to Properly Use a Garbage Chute:
ONLY small kitchen garbage/grocery bags can be thrown down the chutes.
Cardboard boxes including pizza boxes and large outdoor garbage bags CANNOT be put down the chutes as they will clog them.
