Yes I am whining.
I've got pretty good tenants and they don't really pester me but . . .
Why do you wait until Saturday on a Holiday weekend to send me an email about something?
No, your HVAC isn't going to get looked at until Tuesday. Did it just happen? You got windows and ceiling fans in every room. You are not going to die. I promise.
No, the mold on your wall isn't going to get looked at until Tuesday. Did it just magically appear last night? You aren't going to die. I promise.
No, I am not able to call the bug people about big ants in your kitchen until Tuesday, No they don't eat people. You won't die. I promise.

The only message I would’ve answered was the HVAC. If all 3 came from the same tenant, I’d answer the hvac and be prepared for the happy clause soon. --24.152.xxx.xx |

Agree. This holiday is your turn. I did my holiday news earlier this year. Suddenly? News report? Really, who is this?! Lol --172.59.xxx.xxx |

Nothing for the holiday so far.
Well I had one tenant tell me she started being garnished and they messed up and took twice the amount. I'm sure it will be fixed next week and I get the late fee on top of it.
Hopefully those are the only ones you get. --107.147.xx.xx |

Perhaps they want to be there when work is done. If they don't trust you as a LL then all is lost.
However you communicate with your tenants, after this holiday, make it known to all your tenants that repairs whatever will be done M-F between the hours of XXX. Make it due to the worker shortage/availability.
To the issues you mentioned, the HVAC is the one issue I'd feel guilty about. We keep a few window A/C's to provide for a sleeping room until a company doesn't need to come out on overtime hours. --75.11.xx.xx |

Oreo. Funny. My condo residence made me aware that we could only come for repairs M-F 9-3 pm. Then Murphy's law kicked in. hottest Friday in a long time... About 7 pm get a text AC not working... Suddenly someone must come asap! Lol... Lol... I'm still laughing... Hottest weekend in a long time, hotter for some rude rule makers! I could have gotten someone there but nope they made the rules. They are a bit more corporative since the training. --172.59.xxx.xxx |

Just regular rehabbing work. Cajun shrimp on the grill and the episode of Married with Children Bundy Labor Day.
I have one tenant who will be completing week 4 of flea abatement since she didn't bother to tell me until 2 weeks in. She thought she could handle it "naturally" with D. Earth. Um, no. I find it a bit ironic that those who think there are 72 genders want to do everything else "naturally." --64.246.xxx.xx |

Backed up sewer line notification text came Thursday AM. Fortunately, our plumber was available to clear it that same afternoon - before this long weekend! --24.4.xx.xx |

I had one too. Tenant calls that he forgot to tell me that the plumber didn't hook one of the two toilets back up after the last service call and could I have him come hook it up.... The last service call was 6 weeks ago, waits until Friday night of a long weekend to tell me. Yep, he will be over sometime next week. --209.205.xxx.xx |

We get a bit fewer random repair texts these days, since we tell everyone it has to go through Buildium, with pictures if necessary. It happens, but not as much. --173.28.xx.xxx |

In your shoes I would be royally pissed off! I demand that my tenants, managers and guest inform me of an issue in a timely manner.
Last month a tenant notice her cloths dryer was making noise, getting louder during each use. She saw me in the common parking area but "forgot" to inform me if these issues.
Then yesterday I picked up her rent check and she told me her dryer stopped working. I asked when did you notice a change in performance or when did it stop. I got a story that for months she notice things were getting worse.
I responded with a questions, "Were you trying to burn down the building"? Dryers with issues can explode--Natural Gas, Electrical Power are all contained inside a dryer. A lint build up could cause issues.
I said that before the Labor Day Appliance sales, all Scratch and Dent dryers were put on a 50% sale. A $500 dryer could be purchased for around $225. Since her current dry is 8 years old, I wouldn't bother fixing it. But since the tenant failed to properly inform me of the issues, we are going to have to split the $225 and each pay around $110.
The tenant refused, so I gave he a key to the coin operated laundry room and said, because of the way you handled things, I will not pay 1 cent towards a dryer replacement. You can use the dryer in the laundry room. It's only $0.50 cents per 20 minutes of use. --173.205.xxx.xxx |
