    A routine or regular repair would include a leaking tap, torn screen on a window, or a blocked toilet that is not overflowing. You can find additional information on OCH Service Standards here: Maintenance and Repairs – OCH.

  • CAN I SEE THE STATUS OF REPAIR REQUESTS FOR MY HOME?

    Yes. All work orders for your home will be listed in the Repairs Summary page with their status. You can also view more details about the work order, such as a tentative date for the work to be completed or the date the work was completed.

  • WHAT ABOUT ACCESS TO MY HOME TO DO THE REPAIR?

    When you fill out an online Repair Request through My Home, you must indicate whether you give us permission to enter your home to complete your maintenance and pest request. There are 3 options to pick from about access tp  your home, you must pick one of them.

    If you give us permission, we will enter your home to do the requested repair(s). You can check back on the My Repairs page to see when your repair request is scheduled.  Please note that the tentative scheduled date and time are subject to change.

  • WHAT IF I DON’T GIVE OCH PERMISSION TO ENTER?

    If you do not pick the option which would allow OCH staff to enter your home, we will still schedule a maintenance worker to see you. He/she will only come in if you allow them to for the repair to be done.

    If you did not allow us to enter and are not home at the time of the scheduled visit, we would send you a 24-hour notice with a new date and time for the repair to be done as required by law.

    You can also ask for a “24-hour notice” in writing with a date and time before OCH comes to your home.

  • CAN I REQUEST MORE THAN ONE REPAIR AT A TIME ONLINE?

    Yes. You can include up to 5 different repair requests in one basket. However, you cannot mix a Pest request with any other type of repairs in the same basket. Pest-related requests must be requested separately and then put in a basket.

    Check out the video to show you how to request repairs through My Home.
