Most of us, at some point in time, have rented a home. And while renting a home, more than likely a repair or two was needed, right? Some of those repairs were minor, while others were major. Now, raise your hand, if you called your landlord\/property management company for the small and significant repairs? Why not, after all, it\u2019s not your \u201chouse\u201d, you're just \u201crenting\u201d?<\/p>\n
Or maybe, you are handy, and you just took care of the smaller things because you don\u2019t want to be bothered with someone coming to your home to repair something.<\/p>\n
It can be frustrating trying to schedule repairs. Most repair people only work Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, just like you and me. This timeframe translates into you having to take time off from work, to have a sprinkler head changed, for example. I am sure the thought \u201check, no, not happening,\u201d just ran through your mind. And we agree!<\/p>\n
We realize that taking some time off from work is not realistic for most of us, especially for repairs. Sometimes this is a necessary evil of living in a home or apartment, whether you own or are renting. Things break over time and will require fixing.<\/p>\n
If you own the home and are handy, you run out to the hardware store, purchase your supplies, come home and fix the issue. If it\u2019s a bigger issue, you might call in the professionals. If you rent, more than likely you will call your landlord or property management company. But wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could take care of the less complicated things and get reimbursed for the supplies?<\/p>\n
We created a system that allows you to repair items under $50 and receive reimbursement for the supplies needed to complete the repair. Not for special tools or for your time, but the actual supplies themselves. \u201cResident Responsibility\u201d repairs will not be reimbursed. Meaning, if you drove over the sprinkler head and broke it, that\u2019s on you to fix, not the owner. However, we will reimburse a repair if the sprinkler head breaks from normal wear and tear.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s simple. You purchase the materials, complete the repair, submit the receipts online, by clicking here:\u00a0Reimbursement Form<\/a>, then upload your receipt(s).<\/p>\n A few things to note:<\/p>\n 1. Before and after pictures are needed to prove repairs were complete<\/p>\n 2. We will not reimburse any receipts are older than 90-days ago from the date on the receipt<\/p>\n 3. You broke it; you fix it<\/p>\n 4. Turn around time is approximately 30-45 days for the reimbursement.<\/p>\n
