Do you make repairs without tenants presence?
Hi all,
We need to do some repair in our rental. Tenant said that she'd prefer to be home when someone enters the home. But technically we are allowed to enter and make repairs as long as we give a 24 hour notice. Do you guys usually make repairs with tenant present? I know I could enforce the the 24 hour notice clause in my lease but what do you guys usually do?
Thanks !

I would give them some times that I or my handyman can do the work. If they can make one of those times, great, if not, oh well.
It also depends on severity of repair. Roof leak, backed up plumbing, dangerous situation like broken window or exposed electrical....it gets fixed asap. I don't care if they are there or not. It is not their choice. It is up to them to meet my timeline.
The ice maker isn't working....they can work out the schedule with the appliance repair guy understanding they are responsible for any charges associated with missed appointments.
