 What’s on your Checklist

Take Care of Your Rental

We know that general wear and tear happens, but if it’s found that maintenance is needed because of misuse or neglect, you could be responsible for the cost of the repairs.

Keeping Appointments

Scheduling a service call? Make sure to pick a time you’ll be available. Otherwise, you could be charged for missing your appointment, not providing access to your rental when requested, failing to unlock doors, or not following other instructions necessary for maintenance.

Don’t Be Alarmed

For properties equipped with alarm/security systems, make sure you provide the system’s access code when you’re scheduling maintenance or repairs.

Four-Legged Friends

If you have maintenance scheduled, make sure your beloved cats, dogs, or any other pets, don’t impede or interfere with the work. You’re also liable for what your pet does in the rental per your lease agreement.

Setting up Utilities

Different areas have different utility providers. Find your area below and learn how to sign up for all your utility services.
