Maintenance
Information you need.
The fastest and best method for submitting a Maintenance Request is through our Online Tenant Portal.
Our Tenant Portal will also allow you to track the status of any Maintenance Request.
Please refer to your lease before submitting a maintenance request since a lot of general
maintenance is the tenant’s responsibility.
Paragraph 18 defines the responsibilities of both the tenant and the landlord when it relates to repairs.
In addition, most leases contain a repair deductible of $75 or $100 so if a repairman is sent to make a repair,
you will be charged this amount if it is a repair that falls under the responsibility of the tenant.
If this is a life threatening emergency call 911 immediately.
MAINTENANCE EMERGENCY:
- Fire: Call the Fire Department immediately.
-
A/C Repair: By Texas Property Code Law, A/C repair is not considered an emergency. We do
understand this can be extremely uncomfortable and we will schedule the repair on the day you call or

After Resident has checked all the breakers by flipping them ALL hard to the OFF position
and then back on and reset all GFI circuits in the house. Partial outages do not represent an
emergency! If a wall switch or outlet begins to smoke or smell, remove all plugs and turn
off switch. If necessary, call the fire department.
If this is an emergency maintenance situation please do what you can to mitigate the situation (i.e. shut off water valve etc.),
ensure your safety and the safety of your family, then call our office and submit a repair request via your
TENANT PORTAL.
These are the basic calls that may constitute an emergency. If you have a situation other than these, which seems immediately
hazardous, damaging or detrimental, please submit a repair request.

Below are just some of the non-emergency or routine maintenance items:
