3) MAINTENANCE​​​​​
-
We schedule maintenance by the day, not by the hour.
-
We notify the tenant, as required by law, that you are coming during business hours (8am to 5pm) on that day.
-
We recommend you call the tenant to schedule a more specific time but that is not required because we have the right to enter the property provided we give a 24 hours notice. In most cases, they requested maintenance, so they requested your help. If they are not home, the keys are in the lockbox which is typically attached to the garage door frame.
-
IMPORTANT: Do all the work orders that are visible in AppFolio but only if you:
-
Have the skills to do a good job
-
Can complete the work 100% within a reasonable amount of time. You will add your hours to the work order and we will pay you but if an owner complains about the amount of hours required to complete the work, we can’t give you more work orders.
