Free Maintenance Request Form Template

A maintenance request form is the simplest way for a tenant to tell their landlord exactly what’s wrong — and for a landlord to have everything needed to fix it, in writing, the first time. Instead of a string of texts or a rushed phone call, a good maintenance request form captures the essentials up front: what the issue is, how urgent it is, when someone can access the unit, and often a photo of the problem itself.

Landlords use a standardized form for a few reasons: it creates a paper trail useful for insurance and for coordinating with a contractor, and it saves time — a tenant who fills in category, urgency, and access times gives a landlord everything needed to triage the job, instead of five follow-up questions.

The tool below is a free, printable, and fully editable maintenance request form template. Fill in your property details and it generates a clean tenant maintenance request form you can download as a PDF, print, or share as a link — no signup, no app, and no account required for your tenant to use it.

This is the free, one-off version. Nestora does this automatically — with photo intake, contractor dispatch, and status tracking built in.

Tenant maintenance request form

When a tenant opens your shared link, they see a tenant maintenance request form pre-filled with your property name — no login, no app to download. They pick an issue category (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliance, structural, pest, or other), flag how urgent it is, describe the problem, attach a photo, and note when it’s okay for someone to access the unit. That’s the same information a contractor needs to quote the job correctly the first time.

Structured, not a text thread

Category, urgency, and access times captured every time.

What should a tenant include in a maintenance request?

A useful tenant maintenance request form covers the issue category (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliance, structural, pest, or other), how urgent it is, a clear description, a photo if possible, and times someone can access the unit — that’s exactly what this tool asks for.

Do tenants need to download an app or create an account?

No. The shareable link opens directly in a browser. There’s nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
