1836PM works hard to serve you with transparency and give you peace of mind. We understand that all kinds of questions come up when you are leasing a home. We’ve compiled a list to help you find answers.
For non-emergencies, login to your online tenant portal, fill out the maintenance request form explaining the issue/s as thoroughly as possible and provide your contact info. Our staff will respond within 24 business hours.
If it’s an emergency and after hours, please call us at 512-994-4323, and follow the prompts to reach our emergency maintenance line.
Imagine you are the owner and received a bill from a vendor who inspected a dishwasher that a tenant reported as inoperable. It turns out that the power switch was not in the ‘on’ position. Would you feel the bill belonged to you? These things happen, especially when you’ve recently moved in and are unaware of the property’s characteristics. However, the fact remains that a bill has to be paid by the appropriate party for the efforts made. If you have any concerns, contact our maintenance staff or your property manager to troubleshoot the problem.
Replacing an appliance is never a fun process. While the owner enables us to make most repairs, there is a spending limit. Typically, appliance replacements go above that spending limit. Therefore, the owner must approve the expense. While we are eager to move to the next step, owners may not be immediately available or may want additional estimates to ensure the diagnosis and cost are valid. Rest assured, we aim to limit your wait time and provide a temporary fix.
Sorry, but this is not possible. An adult must be present at the time a vendor or team member visits the property when a minor is at home. No exceptions. This would apply to any owner of a home, not just residents.
It could be fun living inside a giant grape! However, it’s not as easy as it seems. Painting is tricky, so we cannot rely on tenants to complete something like this correctly. If you want something painted, submit an Architectural Change Request Form with the details. There will also be a stipulation that the condition is returned to its original state when you move out. One of our approved vendors will complete both painting projects at the tenant’s expense.
You pay primarily through your tenant portal. If unable, you may use the drop box at our office, however, your lease probably contains a charge for paper payments. Please note that funds must be received by the due date. The postmark is not relevant.
Rent will be posted on your account on the 1st of every month. Of course, you’re welcome to pay rent anytime. When you pay rent any day before the 1st, the account will show a credit until the 1st when the charge posts. The account will then balance.
We love pets! However, there are processes in place that remove liability from all parties. Pet damage could occur on the property even if the dog only stayed 24 hours. There’s also a chance the dog could cause harm to itself or someone else while on the property. No matter the duration of the stay, a pet must be approved and documented with a pet agreement. You will also incur a pet payment if approved. Going through the pet approval process is better than us catching an unauthorized pet on the premises and you facing a stiff fine as outlined in your lease. It’s not worth it.
Welcome, Sis! First, she needs to apply just as you did. We need to make sure all parties meet the resident qualifications. That’s fair, right? Once approved, we will add her name to the lease. As this takes more staff time to produce the change in documents and systems, there will be a minimal administrative fee.
If you are moving out and you need a rental verification, please send the rental verification request to rentalverification@1836realty.com.
