SERVICES & MAINTENANCE

Let’s Take Care of It Together

FirstKey Homes partners with you to take care of your home – We handle the big stuff, you help with some minor things – and help you love where you live.

In general, FirstKey Homes is responsible for major repairs and maintenance, giving you one of the biggest benefits of renting: the peace of mind that you won’t have to, for example, pay to replace the refrigerator if it breaks down.

First Things First

Emergencies

For any maintenance emergencies, please call 844.395.3959.

 

What is considered a maintenance emergency? In general, any maintenance concern that impacts an essential service to you or the home. Please see details below. 

 

As always, if conditions are life-threatening, call 911.

Standard Maintenance

For non-emergency maintenance requests, please use the online FirstKey Maintenance System (FMS).

Our Goal: 24 Hours

Our goal is to respond to service requests within 24 hours (though holidays and weekends may affect response times). Please note that someone over the age of 18 must be home for work to be completed.

Pets

Please note that someone over the age of 18 must be home for work to be completed. And, although we love them, please remember to keep your pets away from service areas.

Disclaimer

If an issue related to one of the above FirstKey Homes responsibilities resulted from resident neglect/misuse/etc. (such as a toilet not working due to resident placing foreign objects in the toilet), resident may be responsible for repair charge. If a technician or vendor is dispatched to address an issue found to be a resident responsibility, it may result in a chargeback to your account (e.g., repair fees, “trip fee,” etc.).

 

For maintenance emergencies, we aim to have a technician visit your home within 12 hours of you reporting the concern to us, weather and other conditions permitting. Response time to your home is determined by the specific issue reported and may vary depending on unforeseen natural events.
