How to use maintenance requests in LeaseyLog

March 14, 20261 min readLeaseyLog Team

Maintenance is easier when every request starts in one place.

Step 1: Review the request

When a tenant sends a maintenance request, open it and read:

  • what is broken
  • how urgent it is
  • which property or unit it belongs to

Step 2: Update the status

You can move the request through steps like:

  • open
  • scheduled
  • in progress
  • resolved
  • closed

This helps you and the tenant stay on the same page.

Step 3: Add notes if needed

If you call a vendor, inspect the issue, or need to leave follow-up notes, add them while the request is open.

Step 4: Add the related expense

If you paid someone to fix it, you can attach the expense so your records stay cleaner.

Why this matters

Without a system, maintenance often lives in:

  • text messages
  • phone calls
  • sticky notes
  • memory

That breaks fast.

LeaseyLog gives you one place to track the request from the first message to the final fix.
