A useful request starts with context.
List the unit or property, whether it is occupied, the repair priorities and your target timing. For turnover work, separate the essential make-ready items from optional improvements.
Repair categories to discuss
- Drywall patching and painting needs
- Doors, hardware and cabinet adjustments
- Caulking and maintenance punch lists
- Assembly or storage installation requests
Agree responsibilities before work begins
Identify your approval contact, spending authorization process, access arrangements and any resident coordination requirements. Do not put lock codes or tenant-sensitive information into an initial inquiry.
Recurring maintenance
If you want recurring work, describe the properties and the type of maintenance. Frequency, coverage, reporting and commercial terms must be discussed; this page does not promise a standing service agreement.
