Maintenance issues become harder to manage when requests arrive through phone calls, chat messages and verbal handovers. The work may still get done, but the team loses visibility into what was reported, who owns it and whether the tenant was updated.
A simple complaint tracking workflow can improve both tenant experience and owner visibility. Esset can support this by keeping requests, statuses and follow-up notes attached to the right property or tenant record.
Define the basic statuses
Start with a short list: received, assigned, in progress, waiting on vendor, resolved and closed. More detail can be added later, but too many statuses make the team slower.
Assign ownership
Every open request should have an owner. This does not mean the owner does all the work. It means one person is responsible for the next update.
Review recurring issues
Monthly complaint patterns can reveal repeated plumbing, electricity, cleaning or communication problems. These patterns are often more useful than one-off anecdotes when planning improvements.
