Memorial Day is a day where we honor the soldiers who have fallen while serving in the United States Armed Forces. This commemorative holiday has a storied past that has been celebrated for well over 100 years, and will no doubt continue for 100 more.
Historically, there is no evidence as to who first celebrated Memorial Day and in what town or city, but shortly after the Civil War and President Lincoln’s assassination, mourners began laying flowers and wreaths at the graves of fallen soldiers in a more unified and organized fashion than had been done in the past. The practice caught on, and almost overnight it became a standard (just like the 101st Airborne will be doing Monday at Noon at division headquarters), this also is reason it was once called “Decoration Day.”
And the rest, as they say, is history…
There’s a reason we here at Millan Enterprises are so closely connected to this commemorative holiday, and why we take such pride in our work for our community: We are veteran owned and operated, and we are proud to serve those who are in need of rental properties near Fort Campbell, as they have served, and continue to serve us.
We have been helping soldiers in the US Armed Forces find affordable housing for over 15 years, are more than dedicated to the growth and success of Clarksville, and are very proud of the tradition we have built, and continue to build each year.
We’d like to thank all of our fallen soldiers this Memorial Day for the dedication and sacrifice they gave to our great country, and would like to extend a continued thank you to all current soldiers who have committed their lives to serving today. Thank you.

When you are going to rent an apartment in
Clarksville TN or a rental home near Ft Campbell, you probably know the routine. Put down a security deposit and get it back, or a portion of it, as long as there is no damage. However, understanding what represents normal wear and tear can be a gray area for a lot of tenants and landlords. Another gray area is whether your landlord should support your efforts to decorate, remodel or beautify your apartment. It’s always important to read a lease agreement very carefully and ask questions if you aren’t sure about the latitude you have with decorating a rental in Clarksville. According to an
article by Zillow, it’s smart to document the condition of your rental unit with photographs before you move in and after you move out. Some of the issues that may come up when determining how much of the security deposit you get to keep include damage that has nothing to do with the natural aging of an apartment or home.
To maintain the carpets in a rental unit, you may want to vacuum and even occasionally use a steam cleaner. Carpet has a limited lifetime. Light discoloration and faded should be expected. However, burns, pet urine, vandalism, heavy food or paint spills are damages that come out of a security deposit.
Walls that have been marked up with crayons and permanent markers would be considered damage. When it comes to painting any of the rooms yourself, you would want to get permission from your landlord.
Many landlords and property management companies have specific deposits that relate to pets. That’s because pets are notorious for causing damage beyond the normal wear and tear of a home. Make sure you don’t have a pet unless it’s specifically allowed in the lease agreement. Pets can scratch sliding glass doors, rip screens, damage carpet or yards.
Before moving out of an apartment or rental home in Clarksville TN, think about how you can leave the living space in the kind of condition you’d appreciate if you were moving in. Even though the property manager has professionals clean, be respectful and considerate of others by removing food from the refrigerator, throwing away garbage and cleaning, sweeping and vacuuming. In some cases, you might find the property manger or landlord wishes to give you a good reference for your next move. Also, you can enjoy whatever you end up doing with your security deposit.
