PROCEDURES FOR REQUESTING MAINTENANCE:
- BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR REQUEST, check to see if there is something that could be causing what APPEARS to be a repair problem. Examples of this specifically are listed below. Be sure to read these examples carefully.
- DETERMINE IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY OR A NON-EMERGENCY ITEM.
- EMERGENCIES Fire, flood and/or uncontrollable water, electrical problem, smell of gas, etc.
- Emergencies causing immediate danger such as fire call 911
- Emergencies involving IMMEDIATE electrical danger, call the utility service.
- Emergencies such as backed up plumbing, flooding, Call Emergency Repairs Line and/or if necessary, call 911.
- Loss of heat or air conditioning is not an emergency – Utah First Property Management recognizes this is a priority item and will make it a top priority with the vendors to have the heat working as soon as is possible.
- An emergency is not air-conditioning, non-working dishwasher, sprinklers, etc.
CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE
SUBMITTING A MAINTENANCE REQUEST:
- Air-conditioner does not work. Change air filter. Check ALL circuit breakers often during hot weather or if a circuit breaker overloads, it will trip off the circuit A/C breaker. Often it is difficult to see that the breaker is tripped and it will look like it is not. Therefore, the breaker must be turned all the way off and then all the way on. The breaker must be turned all the way off because it will not “reset” itself to correct the problem.
- Garbage disposal does not work. Check underneath on the disposal unit for the RED
reset button that may need to be reset. If something is stuck & the blades do not turn you can purchase a disposal wrench from Lowes or Home Depot for less than $5.00 and give it a twist. This will often break the disposal loose & it will work. Be sure garbage disposal is turned OFF while doing this.
- Electrical does not work in part of the house. Patio, kitchen or the bathroom. Check reset button on ALL GFCI (Ground fault interrupter).
- Circuit breakers keeping going off. Check all appliances to see if the circuits are being overloaded with appliances such as irons, microwave, toaster, curling irons, blow dryers, etc.
- Smoke alarm doesn’t work. If new battery does not work, submit a maintenance request. Tenants are responsible for the replacement of batteries. Remember a smoke alarm is for safety and it is very important to check it regularly to see if it is working.
TENANTS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING CHARGES:
- If there is a service call and a breaker is tripped.
- When sewer stoppage is caused by tenant(s) placement of debris in line such as toys, tools, diapers, baby wipes, rags, sanitary napkins, extensive toilet paper, etc.
- If the Tenant fails to report necessary repairs.
- If the Tenant fails to meet a vendor at an assigned appointment and there is a vendor charge.
- If the Tenant’s pet causes damage to the property.
- If the Tenant reports a repair which does not require service.
- If the Tenant fails to replace battery for smoke detector or battery for garage door opener and causes a service call for only battery replacement.
- For replacing doors, jambs, broken glass and/or windows unless the Tenant provides a Police Report detailing the cause of the problem showing forced entry by others.
- For carpet cleaning while living in the property.
- For damage, which is caused to the walls, carpets, floors, etc. because the Tenant left the windows or doors open during rain or wind
- Any damage to the property caused by Tenant’s guests or invitees.
