Property Manager – Studio City – Maintenance

Maintenance Checklist

Below are a few things you can do prior to submitting a maintenance work order form. Please try these solutions prior to placing a repair request to avoid being charged for the service call.

* Make sure you know where the panel box and shut off valves are*

IF THERE IS A WATER LEAK-
SHUT OFF THE WATER VALVES IMMEDIATELY!

Air Conditioning issue

• Make sure filter is clean or has been changed recently

Appliance not working:

• Make sure appliance is plugged in
• Check breaker box- reset breaker by turning it off and back on
• For Fridge- Check temperature settings
• For Dryer- Make sure lint catcher is clean

Clogged drain:

• First try plunging the toilet/sink/tub
• For slow or clogged drains, use a drain cleaner such as Liquid Plumber or Drain-o

Electrical issues:

• Check the breaker box to make sure all of the breakers are on
• Flip the appropriate breaker off and then back on to reset it
• Check light switches- some electrical outlets are connected to light switches
• Check/ Change light bulbs if there is an issue with a light fixture

Garbage Disposal

• Check breaker
• Try pressing the reset button on the garbage disposal under the sink

Heat Pump not cooling/heating properly

• Make sure filter is clean
• In extreme heat and cold, heat pumps may not keep up to temperature. This is normal heat pump functionality

Issues with pests? (ants, mice etc)

• Tenant is responsible for Pest control in their individual unit
• Spray for the pest or call an exterminator
• Contact us if you believe you have an issue with bed bugs

Power outage:

• Contact your Electric supplier to check for any reported power outages

Smoke detectors beeping

• Put new batteries in the detectors, if the issue continues contact the office immediately

White spots on dishes out of dishwasher

• This most likely is due to hard water. The best solution for this is to use a detergent with citrus or use citric acid in addition to your detergent
• If the property has a water softener, make sure it is filled with salt

Windows letting air in

• Make sure window is closed correctly and locked

According to the lease agreement-

• Tenant is responsible to pay the cost to repair any damage they or their guests cause
• If the tenant makes a maintenance call and no repair is needed upon arrival of service technician, the tenant is responsible to pay for the invoice.

For Example:

• A foreign substance or object is clogging a toilet (other than human waste or toilet paper)
• Breaker is tripped (and there is no other issue)
• Light fixture issue is due to a bad bulb
• Batteries needed replaced in a beeping smoke detector
• Controls need adjusted in a refrigerator
• Electrical outlets that are controlled by a light switch are non-functioning due to the light switch being switched off
• Heat pump is constantly running and it is merely due to extreme weather temperatures (extreme winter/ summer)
