Apartment Maintenance

Apartment Maintenance

When you are looking for apartments, check with the manager to find out exactly what things the maintenance people do. There may be small things that aren't covered, like replacing appliances that were broken by you. They may have limits on emergencies, like they may come out and turn off a water main to your apartment and then come back later to fix it. Is routine maintenance fully covered, and how long it will take to fix things? Is the maintenance person paid for by the manager or owner, or is it added to the rental costs?

There are many other advantages of having a maintenance person in apartments. One of the benefits of renting, not owning is that you don't have to worry about problems in your home. If anything goes wrong, the dishwasher or stove stops working for example, you just call the maintenance person, and usually they will come by right away, or as soon as they can. You again don't have to worry about trying to find the right person to come out and help you, nor do you have to pay extra out of pocket expenses.
