Resident Responsibilities

At SimplyHome, We Cover Many Of Your Home’s Maintenance Needs!

Being a homeowner doesn’t mean you have to handle everything on your own. We take care of the bigger issues like appliances, fences, and heating and cooling systems, while smaller tasks – like changing air filters and pest control – are your responsibility. It’s a partnership where we work together to make your house feel like home.

Keep in mind, our residents do share some responsibility with the up-keep and general maintenance as notated in the lease agreement. 

* If you suspect a termite or rodent problem, please submit a maintenance work order as soon as possible.

* Insurance covering personal belongings should be always maintained. In the event of a maintenance emergency that causes damage to your possessions, residents should contact their insurance company for assessment and reimbursement.

* Be mindful that every work order is subject to be charged back in case the repair was part of resident responsibilities.

Here’s a detailed list of some smaller maintenance tasks that you'll be responsible for:

  • If locked out, call/pay for locksmith services
