Tips and Tricks Before You Request Maintenance
Empowering Tenants with Maintenance Solutions
At Equity Asset Management, we're committed to ensuring your rental experience is smooth and hassle-free. That's why we've compiled these handy tips to help you address common maintenance issues effectively before submitting a formal request.
Why Maintenance Matters
Promptly addressing maintenance concerns is essential for prolonging the lifespan of your property and ensuring a comfortable living environment for everyone. By taking proactive steps, you can save time and money while fostering a positive rental experience.
Submitting Maintenance Requests
When encountering a maintenance issue, it's crucial to follow the proper procedures to ensure accurate documentation and swift resolution. All official maintenance requests should be submitted through our designated communication platform, ensuring seamless tracking and resolution.
Identifying Emergencies
Emergency maintenance issues pose an immediate threat to life or property. If you encounter a situation such as fire, burglary, or gas leaks, prioritize safety by contacting 911 immediately. Once the situation is under control, reach out to our 24/7 Maintenance Hotline and submit a formal request for assistance.
Routine Maintenance Responsibilities
Here are some typical maintenance tasks you're responsible for:
AC Filter Replacement
Change AC filters every 3-4 weeks to maintain a clean filter and ensure efficient operation. Pour high acidic vinegar down the drainline at least once a quarter.
Smoke Detector Battery Testing
Test smoke detector batteries twice a year. We recommend doing this when daylight savings time changes each year.
Refrigerator Coil Cleaning
Vacuum or brush refrigerator coils monthly, or quarterly if you have pets, to clear out dust or debris and extend the appliance's lifespan.
Dryer Vent Maintenance
Keep dryer hose lines and exterior vents free of lint and debris to prevent fire hazards. Hire a professional if these lines become clogged.
Appliance Cleaning
Regularly clean behind appliances like refrigerators and stand-alone ranges/stoves to prevent dirt buildup.
Lawn Care
Check the lawn weekly for fire ants and treat immediately to protect outdoor AC units. Ensure no vegetation grows into the unit outside.
Exterior Inspection
Regularly inspect exterior doors, eaves, and roof lines for insect nests or vines. Report any issues immediately for timely resolution.
Light Fixture Maintenance
Check exterior light fixtures for nests or debris, and remove promptly to prevent damage.
Pest Control
Maintain pest control both inside and outside the house, as required by your lease agreement.
Lawn Maintenance
Mow, weed, water, and fertilize the lawn weekly, adhering to water restrictions. Hand watering is allowed and required, even during water restrictions.
Garbage Management
Keep the lawn free of trash, especially if you live on a corner lot, to maintain cleanliness and curb appeal.
Pet Waste Removal
Promptly remove pet waste from the yard to maintain a sanitary environment.
Item Replacement
Immediately replace any broken or damaged items, such as blinds or light bulbs, to ensure proper functioning.
Light Bulb Replacement
Regularly replace burnt-out light bulbs with the same type present when you moved in to avoid fixture damage.
Lease Guidelines:
Regularly replace burnt-out light bulbs with the same type present when you moved in to avoid fixture damage.
Safety Measures:
Lastly, maintain safety by avoiding storage of personal items near the hot water heater and keeping the garage orderly to ensure unobstructed access to essential areas.
Adhering to this maintenance schedule not only fulfills your lease obligations but also contributes to a safe and well-maintained living environment for everyone.
