If I have maintenance issues, can I call a repairman and deduct the cost from my rent?

No, do not call a contractor on your own. You are not authorized to perform or contract for any repairs on the property. If you call a contractor and incur any bill or invoice for any repair on the property, you are doing so at your own cost. Neither Management nor the property owner will reimburse you for those costs. All repairs must be approved by the property owner, through Management. You must contact Management so we can arrange for all repairs/maintenance on all systems, appliances, and the structure of the property.
