It is the upkeep of a property that earns rent: an apartment, a rental unit, a business space. Reborn Renos does it two ways: on-call jobs when something breaks, and regular maintenance at set prices agreed with you. The on-call jobs include: - lock replacements, such as a new deadbolt - smoke and fire alarms, of every kind - plumbing repairs, such as a leaking pipe, a toilet or a faucet (Michal is a plumber) - window screens - other repairs: tell us what is broken Doors, casing and baseboard are part of the work too: see [doors, trim and millwork](https://www.rebornrenos.com/homes/doors-and-trim/). The work between one tenant and the next is on [property turnovers](https://www.rebornrenos.com/properties/turnovers/), new walls and a full interior are on [apartment and commercial renovations](https://www.rebornrenos.com/properties/renovations/), and a building's hallways, stairs and balconies are on [common areas and balconies](https://www.rebornrenos.com/properties/common-areas/). ## How small can a call be, and what does it cost? No job is too small: a window screen or a single lock is a job, at a set price you hear before the work starts. Regular maintenance is at set prices agreed with you. A bigger job gets its own written quote before work starts, with every line priced and HST added at 13% at the end. The [common questions](https://www.rebornrenos.com/faq/#minimum) say the same. ## Who has to keep a rental unit in repair? For a home someone rents, the landlord. The Residential Tenancies Act says: “A landlord is responsible for providing and maintaining a residential complex, including the rental units in it, in a good state of repair and fit for habitation and for complying with health, safety, housing and maintenance standards.” [(Residential Tenancies Act, s. 20)](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17#BK26) A lock that will not turn or an alarm that has failed is the kind of repair this page covers. ## Can you work in a unit where a tenant lives? Yes. Repairs and painting in occupied units are part of the work. Two rules in the Residential Tenancies Act matter when a tenant lives there: - **Notice.** The Act says: “A landlord may enter a rental unit in accordance with written notice given to the tenant at least 24 hours before the time of entry” and lists this reason: “To carry out a repair or replacement or do work in the rental unit.” [(Residential Tenancies Act, s. 27)](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17#BK33) - **Keys.** The Act says: “A landlord shall not alter the locking system on a door giving entry to a rental unit or residential complex or cause the locking system to be altered during the tenant's occupancy of the rental unit without giving the tenant replacement keys.” [(Residential Tenancies Act, s. 24)](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17#BK30) When you book a repair in an occupied unit, plan the notice, and plan the new keys if the job is a lock. ## What do the smoke alarm rules say? For a rented home, the Ontario Fire Code says: “Smoke alarms shall be maintained in operating condition.” [(Ontario Fire Code, 6.3.3.3)](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/070213) It also says: “A smoke alarm shall be replaced within the time frame indicated in the manufacturer's instructions.” [(Ontario Fire Code, 6.3.3.7)](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/070213) Smoke and fire alarms of every kind are part of our on-call work. The Code's alarm tests are on the [turnovers page](https://www.rebornrenos.com/properties/turnovers/). ## Can maintenance be on a yearly agreement? Yes. Turnovers, repairs and maintenance can go on one of three [property service agreements](https://www.rebornrenos.com/properties/service-agreements/), with rates set per unit type and priority scheduling. The standards a rental has to meet are in [rental maintenance standards](https://www.rebornrenos.com/guides/rental-maintenance-standards/), and the notice needed to enter an occupied unit is in [entering a rental unit for repairs](https://www.rebornrenos.com/guides/entering-a-rental-unit-for-repairs/). Leaks and their damage are on [water damage and mold repair](https://www.rebornrenos.com/properties/water-damage/). ## Are you insured, and how do I book a call? Yes.
