Something breaks, leaks, or stops working — what now? A clear maintenance request can make all the difference between quick action and frustrating delays.
How to Submit a Strong Request
- Be Specific: Instead of “the sink doesn’t work,” say “the kitchen faucet is dripping constantly, even when turned off.”
- Include Details: Photos or videos can help maintenance teams see the problem before they arrive.
- Prioritize Urgency: Note if it’s urgent (like no heat in winter) or non-urgent (like a loose cabinet handle).
Follow-Up Respectfully
- Give reasonable time for response before checking in.
- Always keep communication polite — it goes a long way.
π Bottom line: The clearer your request, the faster and more effective the repair process will be.
