So I have a situation that will be fun to play out over the next few days, but interested to see what other landlords would do.

Tenants contacted us last week because their lights were dimming. Had an electrition go out, he reviewed the panel and replaced a circuit breaker. Tonight (Saturday night) the tenants contact us again about the light dimming issue. We had our electrical supplier come out. They turned off the power to the property (for safety issues) due to a burnt lug. They said they can not turn on the power until an electrition takes care of the problem.

So we are working on getting an electriction out to the property, but it is difficult to get a response on a Saturday night. One tenant called pretty upset because he has several hundred dollars worth of meat in a chest freezer that he does not want to go back. I told him that we were working to get the issue fixed, but recommended he either borrow a generator from a friend or go and put several bags of ice in the freezer until it gets fixed.

Hopefully we can get the issue resolved quickly, but I'm curious to hear what other landlords would do in this situation.
