Completing these steps can help with an immediate resolution to your maintenance need! Residents may be charged for a service call if it is determined that the tenant failed to perform routine maintenance as outlined below:
- Smoke Detector won’t work when tested: Test with approved smoke detector smoke spray, replace battery.
- Smoke Detector beeps: Replace battery, check for proper wire termination connection.
- No power to outlets or switches: Check and reset breaker panel or replace blown fuses. Check and reset all GFI outlets (located in a kitchen or bathrooms, utility rooms, and garages). Check if a plug works off a wall switch.
- Garbage disposal doesn’t work: When on, do you hear a buzz? If you do not hear a buzz, hit the reset button on the bottom of the disposal and test. If you hear a buzz, turn off disposal and unplug from wall. Mounted on the side of the disposal or side of cabinet may be an allen wrench. Put the wrench in the center shaft and twist back and forth (this un-jams the disposal). Remove the object that is causing the obstruction, turn back on, and test. Repeat until the object is removed.

- Dishwasher grinds or no water is coming in: Turn off, if no water on the bottom pour two large glasses of water into the bottom and re-start. If problem continues, call us and discontinue use.
- Refrigerator too warm or too cold: Ensure thermostat in refrigerator is set correctly.
- Water drips from freezer to refrigerator compartment: Remove all food and store in a cooler. Turn off refrigerator and allow to defrost. Turn refrigerator back on and replace food.
