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)
