Maintenance Request

If you have a maintenance request that is not urgent, please submit your request by emailing your property manager on rentals@andrewjenkins.com.au
Please be as specific as possible when submitting your request.  For example, stipulate whether the appliance is gas or electric, include model numbers where possible and provide photos if necessary.  Thank you – we’ll get onto the job right away!
If you have an urgent repair request, please contact your property manager as soon as possible. If the call is after hours, please ensure to call 0400 986 997. Please leave a voice message if your call is not answered or try calling again. Alternatively, please TEXT 0400 986 997 with your name, the property address and a detailed description of the issue.
If you are unable to contact your property manager or receive a return call, you are able to contact one of our tradesmen providing the issue is urgent. Please also email your property manager to advise your actions. Please check your lease to make sure what tradesman is noted.
