What Maintenance Coordination Looks Like In Action!

·

View a timeline of activity on all maintenance requests

·

In the RentRedi maintenance request dashboard, view the status for each maintenance request

·

Status requests are sent to tenants, automatically

·

Tenants receive an email & text to add more detail about the maintenance issue and provide their availability. This is to schedule a contractor visit or speak with a coordinator if troubleshooting is needed.

·

If a maintenance request goes over your hard budget, Latchel will reach out to you directly

   

Results That Raise The Bar

When you opt-in to maintenance coordination services, tenants can then submit maintenance requests through call or text on a dedicated line.

FAQ

This is a hard question to answer because we have hundreds of flows with thousands of questions! High level, we walk tenants through checking GFI switches, breakers, plugs, shut off valves, pilots, reset buttons, surface level drain issues, obvious aerator blockages, thermostat batteries, filters, etc. Essentially anything that doesn’t require the tenant to pull out a tool set, we’ll troubleshoot with them!

We use all local, licensed service providers. Landlords can expect to pay the service providers market rate. Based on average market rates, you can expect pricing around the following price points:
– Handyman: $40-70/hr
– Plumbing: $70-100/hr
– Electrician: $70-120/hr
– HVAC: $70-100/hr
Any emergency or midnight dispatches could be up to 2x higher based on your city.

Yes! With our maintenance coordination partner Latchel, landlords & Property Managers can set up preferred vendors who will get first crack at accepting a job. Latchel would need a list of vendors and their contact information to be provided to their customer success team.

Our maintenance coordination partner Latchel looks at a variety of things to screen vendors. In an emergency situation availability is the most important factor, then they go based on payment methods, online reviews, size and capability, and ability to answer our contact attempts. Latchel asks screener questions about insurance, but cant do much if we are provided with false info. A preference is given to vendors who are able to sign up with the Latchel network directly and want continued work.
