A clearer repair request

Tell your landlord what needs fixing

Use this free tenant maintenance request form to turn a repair problem into a clear, signed PDF. Fill in the document above, add photos if they help, and keep a copy for your records. No account is needed.

What to include

  • Your rental address. Include the apartment or unit so the repair can be matched to the right home.
  • Your name and contact. Give a phone number or email for questions and scheduling.
  • The problem. Describe what you noticed, where it is and when it started.
  • Helpful details. Add photos and preferred visit times if useful, then review and sign.

Keep the description simple

Example: a kitchen leak

The kitchen faucet drips at the base when the water is running. I first noticed it yesterday. The cabinet underneath is damp. I have attached two photos.

Describe what you can see or hear. You do not need to diagnose the cause. A specific location and a short description are more useful than a long explanation.

Add photos that help

A wider photo can show where the problem is. A closer photo can show the detail. Use Choose photos or Take photo to add up to eight images, and delete any you do not need.

Check the photos before saving your copy. Keep unrelated personal information out of the picture.

Keep a useful repair record

  1. Review the details and confirm your signature.
  2. Choose Download PDF for a file or Print for a paper copy.
  3. Share it through your landlord's usual repair contact method. Keep the request, the date you sent it and any replies together.

Common questions

Is this repair request form free?

Yes. You can fill in the form, add photos, sign and download a PDF or print it without an account.

What do I need before downloading?

Add the rental address, your name, one way to contact you and a description of the problem, then confirm your signature. Photos and preferred visit times are optional. The form points you to any required details still missing.

Can I finish it later?

Use Save draft to keep your progress in this browser on this device. To move to another device, open Edit & options, choose Drafts & backups and download an editable backup. Keep that file private.

What is the difference between a draft and a PDF?

A draft is your work in progress, including the details and photos you can keep editing. A PDF is the finished copy to share or print. Open Edit & options and choose PDF layout to review the page layout.

  3. Send it yourself. Use the channel your landlord accepts. Keep a copy and record when and how you sent it. Downloading does not deliver a request. Do not upload the completed form back to this website.

Can I keep working without internet?

Once offline readiness is confirmed, this form can reopen in this browser without a connection. Save a device draft or download an editable backup to keep your entries and photos. The other form and external links need their own first visit online. Browser storage or private browsing may limit offline use.

How do I continue on another device?

Download an editable backup, move that file yourself, and use Open backup in the matching form. The file contains personal information, photos and any signature. Keep it private. A PDF is a finished copy; the editable backup is the file you can reopen here.

Does this send my request or grant entry permission?

No. Send the finished copy through the channel your landlord accepts. Scheduling preferences and signatures do not grant entry permission. Handle appointments, entry arrangements and required notices separately.

How do I add photos?

Use Choose photos or Take photo. Add up to eight images. Use Delete to remove a photo.
