Who Can Use This Maintenance Request Form?

Worked Example: Submitting a Maintenance Request
A tenant notices the hallway light outside their apartment has been flickering for a week. They fill out a maintenance request: unit number, issue category “Electrical,” priority “Normal,” and a description — “hallway light outside unit 12 flickers on and off, worse in the evening.” The property manager reviews it, sets up access with the electrician, and later turns it into a work order for the actual repair.
Common Mistakes on a Maintenance Request Form
Describing the issue too vaguely (“it’s broken” instead of what’s actually wrong and where), skipping the priority so urgent safety issues sit in a general queue, leaving out contact or access information when someone needs to get into the unit, and not following up to confirm the issue was resolved.
Frequently Asked Questions

A maintenance request documents a problem as reported, often by a tenant. A work order is the document a manager creates afterward to assign and track the actual repair — who is doing it, when, and with what priority. Use this form to capture the request, then create a Work Order to schedule the fix.
Yes. It's designed so a tenant can fill it out directly — property and unit, the issue, and how urgent it feels to them — without needing to call or email first. A manager then reviews it and decides how to act on it.
Use priority to signal how quickly it needs attention: high for safety, security, or a major loss of service like no heat or a burst pipe; normal for real repairs with no immediate risk; low for minor or cosmetic issues that can wait for a routine visit.
Yes. Use Save Draft to keep your progress saved in this browser, then Load Draft later to pick up right where you left off — handy if you're filling it out from a phone and get interrupted partway through before finishing.
