Please note that submission of a maintenance request is automatically deemed as permission to enter the premises to make the repairs, unless otherwise noted on the maintenance request. If you prefer to be present, or if you have pets that will need to be attended or restrained while a maintenance tech is in your home, please note this in your request, and list 2-3 convenient times that you will be available for an appointment. Someone will contact you to schedule it.
