Greetings,
We hope this email finds you well. As you know we are in a very unique time due to the COVID-19 virus. We, CIRE Property Management and the property ownership wanted to send you this communication so that you know what the management and ownership are doing at this time.
CIRE Property Management is fully functional and continuing to address property and tenant needs. Additionally, property ownership and management will continue to fulfill all their financial and contractual obligations in order to maintain all services to the property. These include, but are not limited to, loan payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance, etc.
We are also continuing to monitor the availability of any financial assistance or relief programs that will be made available to employers, employees, and residential tenants. As these services come available we will post them on our website blog: http://www.ciremgmt.com/property-management-blog
