The language outlined in the lease in regards to maintenance, may be just a little confusing. One of the greatest advantages of multifamily living is the comfort of knowing that maintenance can be easily requested.  To be clear on what is considered routine verses emergency, make take a little explaining.

Routine MAINTENANCE

The  Routine Maintenance are not high priority but can be handled during normal business hours. A few examples include:

• Dripping water faucets
• Broken tissue holders
• Stove burner won’t heat up

These issues may require a few days before a maintenance professional is able to schedule a visit to your home without it endangering your health or potentially damaging your apartment.  These types of requests are submitted via the Resident Portal.  If you are wondering what the status of your Maintenance Request is,  or perhaps you need more information on damage/replacement fees, we can help with clarity on those issues also!

HIGH-PRIORITY MAINTENANCE ISSUES

If there is a maintenance issue that requires expedited attention, but not immediate attention, it is considered a high-priority maintenance issue. These high-priority issues receive first priority over non-emergency issues and are usually done during regular maintenance hours.  These types of requests are also submitted via the Resident Portal.   A few examples include:

• Air Conditioning not working
• Dishwasher Leaking
• Plumbing Leak
• Locked out of your apartment

EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE ISSUES

Emergency maintenance are issues that require immediate attention for the safety of the occupants, the property and your belongings. After business hours, emergency requests should be called into the 24/7 Maintenance Call Center Line  1-901-254-7572.  One our of on-site maintenance staff members will be in contact with you shortly after receiving the call to get more information about your situation.
