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.

Disclaimer

Many small issues around your home, as well as damage caused by neglect or misuse, may be your responsibility. (Note that if a technician is dispatched to address an issue found to be a resident responsibility or if you miss the appointment, it may result in a charge-back to your account). Response time to your home is determined by the specific issue reported and may vary depending on unforeseen natural events. We take care of routine service requests from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time; 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.
