Tenants submit requests via the AppFolio tenant portal or emergency phone line. Emergency requests (life safety, habitability) are responded to within 2 hours. Standard requests are responded to within 24 business hours. Under the current management agreement, repairs over $500 need owner approval before work begins; properties on older agreements follow the threshold in their own agreement. Life-safety emergencies are dispatched immediately, without waiting for approval.
How does Jevons Property Management handle rent increases?
Every rent change is made by a written notice that follows Washington State law and the local ordinance for the property's address, on the notice form and with the service method the law requires. For Housing Choice Voucher tenancies the housing authority must also approve the new rent. Timing and terms depend on the property's location and lease, so we review them with each owner for their own property: call (509) 895-7777 or email info@jevonsproperties.com.
