Also it's a good time to look around to see if the tenants have a bunch of stuff plugged into an extension cord somewhere in the house - new service, old wiring, and multiple devices on an extension cord pulling juice from knob and tube wiring is no bueno.Do not call your insurance company about the repair!

More in the "do the dumbest things" category....We get a frantic 11:30 pm call from an elderly tenant crying incoherently but after several minutes my wife determined it was because water was 'pouring' in the bedroom window.My wife distinctly asked her several times if our maintenance guy was called & if he was there as he was not answering his cell.
