Maintenance repair procedures vary greatly from property to property. Be sure to ask your property manager what the process entails, as well as the associated timeline and potential charges. Typically, property damage requiring repairs are the responsibility of the tenants, while general maintenance is covered by the property managers. Be sure to ask about maintenance before you sign your lease or when you move-in!
