**General

*Resident Parking stickers are only good for the specific property that the resident lives at.  For example, Grand Avenue residents cannot park in the Park Street resident lots without being subject to being towed.  Also if a resident is visiting a friend at another property owned by G&R Rentals, that resident must still obtain a visitor parking pass per the parking policy for the property they are visiting.

*Visitor passes are only issued to the resident of the property being visited.  Under no circumstances can a visitor obtain a visitor pass.

*Visitor passes are to be obtained at the office at 851 E. Grand Avenue during office hours.  If a pass cannot be obtained during office hours the resident may then go to the Grand Avenue Laundromat at 867 E. Grand Avenue and get a visitor pass from the laundromat attendant.  The Grand Avenue Laundromat can issue passes until 11:00 PM 7 days a week.  In such cases where passes are obtained at the Grand Avenue Laundromat, the resident may be required to show the attendant a picture ID before the pass is issued.

**PLEASE NOTE:  The Grand Avenue Laundromat only carries a limited number of passes, if they happen to run out, your visitor will have to either find a different place to park or take their chances with the towing company.  We suggest that if you know your visitor is coming, in advance of them getting here, you come in to the office to pick up your visitor pass.

*On “special” weekends such as Graduation weekend, The Grand Avenue Laundromat will only issue 1 visitor pass per tenant for the entire weekend.  On these weekends, it is strongly encouraged that all visitor passes be obtained from the office.  You will receive an e-mail before those weekends reminding you of this policy.

*There is not a fee for visitor passes as long as the pass is returned when the visitor leaves.  If the visitor pass is lost or stolen there is a $50  replacement fee.

*Visitor passes may be refused if a tenant is found to be abusing the policy and/or is frequently late in returning visitor passes when taken out.  They may also be refused should a tenant become behind in his/her rental payments.

*The towing company for G&R Rentals is Express Towing:  1301 W. Main, Carbondale, IL:  618-457-1001
