I give every tenant a 'cheat sheet' that gives them useful numbers, tips on troubleshooting common issues and how to deposit rent.

Learn how to troubleshoot.

I went over and did some basic troubleshooting.

Appliance repair and troubleshooting would be helpful as well (can't tell you how many times I hear the dryer is working properly, etc.).

the only thing I have run across that you might want to troubleshoot is what else that is not in the master bed room is on the circuit.

And then the newer electronic systems might have trouble-shooting indicator lights that help to diagnose the problem.Understanding how it works and some simple trouble-shooting techniques will help you determine whether the outage will be just a few hours or a few days; if not short you would then work with the tenant to see whether they need some electric space heaters or not (some already have their own).

I printed the instruction book online (seller didnt leave it for us) and am going to walk through it and check the troubleshooting steps too.

The basic troubleshooting of electrical saved me several service calls and I changed out exhaust fans myself after that.

And. the only reason for that tenant is to show our gratitude for their incredible patience from day one as we troubleshooted their unit, which had gremlins all over the place.

Makes troubleshooting much easier than trying to figure out which of several is wired wrong.Light switches and light wiring are trickier than receptacles.
