We are ready to handle all of your maintenance concerns. It is a common misconception that the owner of the property must address any repair or maintenance problem that arises without compensation by the Resident(s). While very many maintenance and repair issues do fall under that concept, not all do. The following is a helpful list of repairs for which you as Resident will be responsible, should the repairs be necessary. Special circumstances are listed for some items to better explain those items especially where a Landlord may normally be responsible but the circumstance dictates otherwise. We will perform the necessary repairs and then bill you for them if charges apply. Please take care to avoid these issues to avoid the inconvenience and cost associated with them. If you need assistance properly caring for or using any item in your property we are happy to meet with you to help or to send you links to educational videos that may be helpful.

• Garbage disposal, foreign object inside

• Garbage disposal clogged

• Garbage disposal jammed (Many common food items can jam a disposal. Please google items not to be placed in a garbage disposal for a thorough understanding)

• Sink backup caused by garbage disposal misuse, see above

• Toilet clogged, foreign/non-toilet paper product (paper towels, condom, feminine hygiene product, cell phone, toy etc commonly only removable by replacing the toilet)

• Toilet clogged, relieved by common plunger (please purchase and familiarize yourself with use of a plunger to avoid this expense).

• Dishwasher leaving cloudy dishes (can be a maintenance issue but most commonly failure to use rinsing agent such as JetDri, vinegar or other in the rinsing agent dispenser)

• Drain clogged, relieved by common plunger

• Drain clogged by grease put into drain

• Drain clogged by hair

To help you avoid common maintenance calls and charges that may result, we have focused here on items that may not be obvious and are commonly assumed to be the landlord’s responsibility but are not, at least under the circumstances listed. However, if a resident or their guest causes any repair to be necessary by misuse of any part of the home, tenant will be responsible for those repairs even if not listed here. Subsequent or resulting damages may also be charged depending on the circumstances and the damage caused. This list was created with our residential Tenants in mind. Commercial tenants are responsible for all repairs within their unit at all times. Commercial tenants must hire their own licensed contractors for repairs.
