If the maintenance inspections or minor repairs are not urgent in nature, it is best to wait until the lockdown is over. In the best interest of everyone’s health, it is not advisable to enter the tenant’s unit during this time of social distancing. Talk to your tenants and ask that they document minor maintenance requests and inform them that you will take care of them when it is safe to do so.
If it is necessary to enter the rental unit to perform a major repair or to deal with an emergency, inform the tenant that you will contact a contractor about performing the repairs and identify potential delays due to COVID-19 and physical distancing. Also advise tenants that proper notice will be provided.
