How Property Managers Use Jodie
Tenant Emergency: Burst Pipe
The situation: A tenant calls in a panic. There is water pouring from under the kitchen sink and they do not know how to shut off the water.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, walks the tenant through shutting off the water supply if possible, takes the property address and unit number, and marks the call as urgent. You get an immediate notification with all the details to dispatch an emergency plumber.
On an Inspection, Cannot Answer
The situation: You are doing a move-in inspection at one property when your phone buzzes with a call from an owner or another tenant.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the caller's details and the reason for their call, and lets them know you will be in touch shortly. The message is in your inbox when the inspection is done.
Owner Checking In
The situation: An owner calls to ask about a maintenance issue at one of their rental properties. They want an update on the repair and whether the security deposit covers the damage.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the owner name, property address, and the specific question. You get a clear message so you can pull up the lease details and call back with the update.
After-Hours Lock-Out
The situation: A tenant calls at 10pm because their front door lock has broken and they cannot secure their apartment overnight.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the details, marks it as urgent, and lets the tenant know you are being notified immediately. You get an alert so you can arrange an emergency locksmith.
