Even in a brand new apartment where everything is updated and the landlord or property manager takes their time to keep it in good working order, there may come a time when things break down or do not work the way that they should. This is just the reality of living in any building and the longer you stay in your apartment, the more likely it is that you will need to make a maintenance request to get something fixed, even if you take good care of it while you live there. This is why you need to talk to the landlord early on to learn the proper process for handling maintenance requests.

Maintenance, while not the most convenient thing to work on, is part of living whether you own your home and have to do it by yourself, or you are renting an apartment, You may be able to save some money when you rent an older apartment, but because of the age, it is more likely that you will need to submit some maintenance requests to make sure that everything works well while you call that place your home.

This is why you need to ask the management team early on about the protocol they want you to follow, both for some of the regular maintenance and the emergency maintenance. You should keep the number for the maintenance team on hand so that you can easily find it when I is necessary. There is nothing worse than having a broken dishwasher or without running water and no idea how to call the right person to get it fixed.

Your landlord may choose to do some of the work on their own if it is a smaller apartment complex or just one home. But often they will have a team to do the work. Keeping the number on hand for emergency services and for regular maintenance can help keep the apartment in good working order for the duration of your time there.
