    I fell n love with Cardinal on my first visit to see the property I love living here it is very mature adult grown living even though ppl have children just renewed my lease for 15 months not going anywhere I once lived n a apartment n the area for 13 years until I came to Cardinal, also ppl need to keep all pets on leases because everyone does not like BIG or little dogs and dogs have teeth and do bite, let your dog relief themselves where I don't have to see it, that's for #1 or #2, oh yeah ...
    keep ALL trash areas clean and change the water filter n the gym
