what is a tenant repair request?

if you're a renter who needs repairs done, filing a tenant repair request with the landlord can help you get your rental back in order. if you're a landlord, you may want to make life easier for your tenants, or want to dissuade them from making their own repairs on critical building functions. either way, having a tenant repair request available helps get things fixed quickly and properly. 
 
as a tenant, you have rights, and one of the biggest perks of renting is that you don't have to deal with certain repairs. and when you do need repairs, giving your landlord a tenant repair request can help you get things fixed. aside from simply starting the process, a written request helps you document everything. details can be forgotten, but having a physical document can help ensure nothing is left out. if you're the landlord, providing tenant repair requests can help you stay in control of your property. if a tenant needs to rewire their apartment, or fix a sewer line, chances are you don't want them to do that themselves - nor do you want them to hire just anybody. it can be tough to keep track of all the details when it comes to making a repair; but a tenant repair request can help you stay on top of it.

when to use a tenant repair request:

  • you're a landlord and want to make repair requests easy for tenants.
  • you're a tenant who needs something repaired.
  • you work for a property management company.
