How to Report Maintenance Issues

Knowing the correct steps can help renters get repairs handled quickly and prevent minor problems from becoming major issues.

1. Identify the Issue

Before reporting, clearly identify the problem:

Check if it is an urgent repair (e.g., leaking pipes, broken heating, electrical hazards)

Document the issue with notes, photos, or videos

Determine whether it is your responsibility or the landlord’s responsibility

2. Notify the Landlord or Property Manager

Once the problem is identified:

Contact your landlord or property management company promptly

Provide clear details about the issue, including location, severity, and any safety concerns

Keep a record of your communication via email, text, or written notice

3. Follow Up

After reporting the maintenance issue:

Confirm that the landlord received your request

Ask for an estimated timeline for repairs

Schedule a convenient time for maintenance personnel to access the unit if needed

4. Understand Your Rights and Responsibilities

Both renters and landlords have responsibilities:

Landlords must maintain the property and handle major repairs promptly

Renters must report problems quickly and avoid causing damage

Documentation protects both parties in case of disputes
