Your Community's Integrated Pest Management Program

As part of our commitment to environmental protection, resident safety, and pet welfare, Island Palm Communities wants to familiarize you with our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. Your community is on federal property, meaning the use of pesticides is regulated by federal law. The primary goal is to ensure effective pest control while minimizing environmental impact and reducing unnecessary exposure to pesticides for our residents, their families, and pets.

Here's what you can expect from our IPM program:

• Preventive Strategies
• Monitoring and Assessment
• Non-Chemical Control Methods
• Targeted Pesticide Application
• Education and Awareness

How Do I Submit Requests to Alter My Home?

Limited modifications within homes are permitted. Refer to Island Palm Communities Resident Guide, Section 6: Alterations, Additions, and Construction.

For information on approved interior paint colors, review the Paint Request Form and click here to submit your request electronically.

Should you choose to install a satellite dish, review and complete the Satellite Dish Request form and return it with the required documents to your community center.

Energy Conservation

While it is important to be responsible users wherever you live, conservation is of higher importance in Hawaii because the islands are geographically isolated and natural resources are scarcer and more expensive. The following are some guidelines residents can follow to reduce energy consumption:

• Maintain a household thermostat setting between 74 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit when operating air-conditioning units.
• Central A/C units must be left in “auto” position at all times to maintain a consistent temperature.
• Check your A/C filter each month and replace as needed to keep your system running efficiently.
• Close all doors and windows when operating air-conditioning units to prevent mold and maximize efficiency.
• Turn off all lights when they are not needed such as in unoccupied rooms, outdoor lights during daylight hours, or other electronics that you are not using.
• Use cold water to do laundry, for operating garbage disposals, and for other similar activities.

During your leasing process we provided a Mold 101 Guide that discusses prevention, identification, and the procedure for reporting concerns to your maintenance team.

I'm moving out. What now?

Our goal is to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. Check out our Resources for Departing Residents page for important information and details on the move-out process.

How do I request a reasonable accommodation or modification?

To request a reasonable accommodation or modification, please contact Christina Sonnier, Operations Director for Island Palm Communities, at [email protected].

Is Renter’s Insurance Mandatory?

Beginning July 15, 2023, renters insurance is required at time of move-in or lease renewal, and must be maintained at all times during residency with Island Palm Communities at the expense of the resident. Renter's insurance protects you from claims for property damage and physical injury caused by or to you, a member of your family or a guest while living in your home. The lease requires proof of insurance coverage meeting the minimum requirements with Island Palm Communities named as an interested party at time of move-in. 

If you fail to obtain and maintain liability insurance as required by your lease, you will be in violation of your obligation under the lease. For more information, click here.
