A Halfway House landlord instruction should preserve the tenant’s report and state what can be assessed or approved during the first visit.
Retain the reported symptom
Forward the unit, affected area, timing and tenant’s exact description. Avoid converting the report into a diagnosis.
- Tenant’s original symptom and unit
- Access contact and appointment window
- Approval limit and landlord decision-maker
Set access and authority
Confirm the appointment, keys, tenant contact and any monetary or scope approval limit. The electrician should obtain further authority before work outside that limit proceeds.
Separate findings from completed work
Request a record of testing, diagnosis, remedial work, restored supply and remaining recommendations. Keep a quotation distinct from work already authorised.
