Tenants not showing up for repair appointments

[Mauricio A.]

Hi folks, 

How do you handle tenants that don't show up for repair appointments after confirming that they would and are just very irresponsible about giving access to the homes following a scheduled repair? 

Thanks!

In my leases, I have a clause in the repair section that says that if there is a repair scheduled and the tenant is notified and does not show up, the tenant is charged the vendor trip fee. or $150 whichever is more. I have the tenant(s) initial that paragraph.  I have never had an issue with tenants not being present.
