What a property manager should put in an electrical request

Prepared 10 November 2026.

An apartment building with balconies.

The form is the same one a homeowner uses. The job details are where a property manager adds the facts the electrician cannot see from a postcode.

Put these in the job details

Who has authority to approve the visit, and who the invoice should be addressed to. How the electrician gets in: tenant home, lockbox, or office keys, and any notice the tenancy requires. Pets. Whether the power is already off. The room, the symptom, and anything already tried. For smoke alarms, the state and whether the alarm is hardwired. For a switchboard, say if anyone has mentioned asbestos in the meter box.

One introduction

The request goes to one licensed local electrician, not a list of businesses. There is no minimum number of jobs and no lock-in. You still need authority to ask about the property. In Victoria, keep the electrical safety check record with the other compliance documents. That two-year check is a separate duty from a one-off repair.
