Lesson Overview

15.14 – Who to Call for Housing Repairs or Emergencies: Knowing who to contact during household problems turns chaos into control. Keep a list of reliable numbers—landlord, maintenance, plumber, electrician, pest control, and emergency services. If something breaks, take a photo before calling so you can explain clearly. Use calm, specific language when describing the problem; say what’s happening, where, and how long it’s been an issue. Respecting professional boundaries—like not calling late unless it’s serious—builds good rapport. Documenting repair requests in writing protects you and ensures accountability. Sometimes you’ll be unsure which person to call first, but starting somewhere is better than freezing. When you maintain this contact system, you prevent small issues from turning into major disruptions. Over time, you’ll feel more confident managing your living space, knowing exactly who to reach for help. Organization and communication are what turn emergencies into efficient, teachable moments.
