Before You Request Maintenance

Some common household issues can be resolved with a few simple checks. Please review the troubleshooting guides below and complete the steps that apply to your home before submitting a non-emergency maintenance request. Your lease outlines your maintenance responsibilities.

Avoid a $50 Trip Charge

A $50 trip charge will be assessed if the maintenance technician determines that the issue could have been resolved through simple tenant troubleshooting, such as resetting a tripped outlet or replacing dead thermostat batteries. If you are unsure whether a step is safe or appropriate, contact LVR for guidance before attempting it.

Clearing a jammed garbage disposal and resetting it

Turn the disposal off and disconnect its power before attempting to free a jam. Never place your hand inside. Use only your model's approved unjamming method; report leaks or a jam that will not clear.

Resetting a tripped GFCI outlet

Check for an outlet with TEST and RESET buttons when nearby outlets lose power. With dry hands and no signs of damage or moisture, unplug connected devices and try one reset. If it trips again or will not reset, contact maintenance.

Checking and resetting a tripped circuit breaker

Unplug devices on the affected circuit before trying one reset. Only operate accessible switches in a dry, undamaged panel. Never remove the panel cover or touch wiring. If the breaker trips again, leave it off and contact maintenance.

Checking and replacing your air-conditioning filter

Turn the system off before replacing an accessible filter. Use the correct size and type, follow the airflow arrow, and replace it on the schedule provided by LVR. Contact us if the filter is difficult to access safely.

Replacing thermostat batteries

If your battery-operated thermostat has a blank display or low-battery message, check its batteries. This video demonstrates Honeywell models; your thermostat may differ. Also confirm the correct heating or cooling mode and temperature setting.

Still Need Help?

If these checks do not resolve the issue, submit a maintenance request and tell us what you have already tried.

Do not delay reporting an urgent problem to troubleshoot.

Report active leaks, sewage backups, electrical hazards, and loss of heating or cooling in dangerous temperatures immediately using LVR's emergency maintenance instructions. For a gas smell or a sounding smoke/carbon monoxide alarm, leave the home and call 911 or the gas utility from a safe location. Do not attempt wiring, gas, or internal appliance repairs.
