Ask for the details needed to review a repair

Collect enough detail for a useful first review. Do not ask tenants to share passwords, lockbox codes, financial information, or unrelated personal details. Access instructions should explain the preferred process without including security credentials.

For immediate danger, the form should direct the tenant to leave the area and contact the appropriate emergency service. A maintenance request form should not replace emergency help.
