Editor's Note
I came back to my apartment late one night after a long day of work. It was near the end of the summer and people were moving in and out of apartments because their lease was up. I walked into my bathroom and stepped into a huge puddle of water. My bathroom had flooded while I was at work. It turns out my upstairs neighbors who were moving out were cleaning their bathroom pipes with Draino. My floor and counter were covered in a nasty green and brown color. I cleaned up the mess and called maintenance.
Maintenance arrived promptly and started working on my bathroom sink right away. The worker found the issue and filled out a form explaining the work that was done.
On-site maintenance at apartment complexes come to an apartment and fix whatever is wrong with the apartment. Apartment complexes that have maintenance can make your life very convenient. All you have to do is pick up the phone and they will come and save you from a flooding bathroom. I have ran into quite a few disasters so far while living in my apartment. Like when my thermostat decided to quit working or the time my kitchen sink leaked underneath
the counter. Each time maintenance workers have entered my apartment and fixed the issues.
When looking for a new apartment one should consider a complex that includes onsite maintenance. Some places offer maintenance but only come to the apartment if it is an emergency.
You don't always have to call maintenance. Some things can be fixed by you but it's best to leave it to the professionals. If you try to fix something in your apartment by yourself you may damage the apartment and owe the complex a lot of money.
