No Power – Troubleshooting

If a tenant is experiencing a power outage, there are several steps that can be taken to resolve the issue:

1. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to see if a switch has been tripped or if a fuse has blown. If the problem is with the circuit breaker or fuse box, reset the switch or replace the fuse.
2. If the problem is not with the circuit breaker or fuse box, check to see if the problem is with the tenant’s electrical appliances or lights. If the problem is with the appliances, the tenant should contact a repairman.
3. If the problem is not with the tenant’s appliances or lights, contact the power company to report the outage. The power company will be able to determine if the problem is with the power lines or the electrical grid.
4. In the meantime, you can provide some temporary lighting for your tenant, such as flashlights or lanterns
5. If the problem is with the building’s electrical system and it’s your responsibility as a landlord to fix, it’s best to contact a licensed electrician to diagnose and repair the issue.
6. Keep your tenant informed of any progress or updates on the situation.
