Photo, then three taps

It showed up. A dated note to your landlord, ready to email with your photos attached.
I want to put something here. A way to hang or place it that stays ordinary wear, with no drilling.
I need it fixed. A short repair, or a repair person nearby when it is past that. For an active leak, spreading mold, anything electrical or a gas smell, there are no repair steps, only the note.

What a card tells you

Every card has how serious it looks, the gotcha most renters miss, a tip, and whose job it usually is, stamped with the date. It reads what the photo shows and the words in it, so the answer is about your photo and not a generic checklist. Try the three taps:

Oct 19

Example card

Broken window blinds

Low

Gotcha: Blinds you did not break can still be charged to you if there is no dated photo of how they were.
Tip: Photograph the whole window, then the pieces, before you pick anything up.
Whose job: Depends on your lease. Ask in writing.

Note to the landlord

Hello, I found the blinds in the living room broken, with pieces on the floor. I have attached photos taken today. Could you tell me how you would like to handle it? Thank you.
