Maintenance request in housing locations of Soihtu
Once in a while, something in an apartment breaks down or suddenly doesn’t function anymore. That is when you should fill in a maintenance request. In the housing locations of Soihtu Housing, Soihtu Facility Services handles needed repair work.
Some of the tasks are on tenant’s responsibility, so kindly get familiar with them by going through the list on our Housing instructions.
Maintenance request
Soihtu Facility Services gets all the needed information on the maintenance request and will come to do the repair work as soon as possible. The maintenance requests are handled in order of urgency.
Instructions for Submitting a Maintenance Request:
- Your report will be sent directly to the property management system, where tasks are directed to the appropriate service providers. Please specify the location of the issue and describe it as accurately as possible. Note that allowing the use of a master key can speed up the repair process. If you have a pet, it is recommended not to allow the use of the master key.
- Submit a separate report for each issue. If necessary, you can submit multiple reports. A photo often illustrates the situation better than text alone, so please attach one or more images if possible. Adding a video is currently not supported.
- When submitting your request, please ensure your contact information is correct. This allows maintenance personnel to contact you if needed before visiting your apartment.
- If the issue is urgent, please contact the maintenance company or the emergency number directly.
- You can also submit a maintenance request for any deficiencies or faults observed in common areas (e.g. a burnt-out hallway light, insufficient cleaning, or a broken washing machine in the laundry room).
- Please also review the Responsibilities of taking care of the apartment carefully to see which tasks are the resident’s responsibility.
