Tenants – do you have an after hours emergency?

After Hours Emergency

An emergency repair is defined in the Residential Tenancy Act as:

• Burst water service
• Blocked or broken toilet system
• Serious roof leak
• Gas leak
• Dangerous electrical fault
• Flooding or serious flood damage
• Serious storm or fire damage
• Failure or breakdown of any essential service or appliance provided by a landlord or agent for hot water, water, cooking, heating, or laundering
• Failure or breakdown of the gas, electricity or water supply
• Any fault or damage in the premises that makes the premises unsafe or insecure
• An appliance, fitting or fixture that is not working properly and causes a substantial amount of water to be wasted
• A serious fault in a lift or staircase

BURST WATER SERVICE
Turn the water off at the tap near the hot water service to avoid further flooding.  If it is a house the water may be turned off at the main which is the tap on the water meter located on the front boundary of the property-  Contact our office or emergency number.

LOSS OF ELECTRICITY
If you lose power, please make sure by checking your meter box that the safety switch has not switched to the off position.  This will happen if you have a faulty electrical appliance.  If this happens unplug all appliances and then plug them in one at a time until you find the faulty appliance.  Check that there is not a black out or maintenance being carried out by your electricity supplier before requesting an emergency repair.
