Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an emergency and a high-priority maintenance request?

An emergency is a situation that poses an immediate threat to health, safety, or property, such as a gas leak or major electrical failure. High-priority issues are serious but not immediately dangerous, like a broken air conditioner in summer. Our form helps you categorize correctly so we can respond appropriately.

Can I submit a maintenance request for issues that existed before I moved in?

Yes, you should report any pre-existing issues as soon as possible to document them. This protects your security deposit and ensures the property is in good condition. Please describe the issue clearly and note that it was present at move-in if applicable.

How quickly will I get a response after submitting this form?

Response times vary based on priority. Emergencies are addressed within 24 hours, high-priority within 48 hours, and routine requests within 5 business days. You will receive a confirmation once your request is received.
