Tenant Portal: How to Submit Maintenance Requests Online & What to Expect During a Maintenance Visit

At Bauer Property Management, we’re committed to making life easier for our residents. One of

the ways we do that is through our convenient online Tenant Portal. You can easily access your

portal through our website www.bpmhousing.com or by downloading the app. The app can be

found in your phones Appstore titled “AppFolio Portal.”

Whether you’re dealing with a leaky faucet or a broken appliance, submitting a maintenance

request has never been simpler — and we want you to know exactly what to expect once that

request is in motion.

How to Submit a Maintenance Request Online

    1.    Log In

Start by logging into your Tenant Portal through our website or app.

    2.    Submit Request

Once inside the portal, navigate to the “Maintenance” section. You will then be able to click on

“Request Maintenance.” From there please provide as many details as possible about the issue:

what’s happening, where it’s happening, and when you first noticed it. You can even upload

photos, which helps our team diagnose the problem faster.

    3.    Track Progress

After submission, you’ll receive a message. You can log back into the portal anytime to check

the status of your request.

What to Expect During a Maintenance Visit

Once we’ve reviewed your request, a member of our maintenance team will be scheduled to

visit. We’ll provide notice of the visit date and approximate time — we respect your privacy and

strive to be as transparent as possible.

During the visit, our team will arrive ready to fix your needs. They’ll assess and address the

issue, or in some cases, schedule a follow-up if additional parts or work are needed.

Our goal is always to resolve problems quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption to your daily

life.

How to Smoothly Move Into Your New Apartment

Moving into a new apartment can be exciting, but let’s be honest—it can also be stressful.

Whether you’re relocating across town or moving into your very first place, a smooth transition

sets the tone for your whole experience. At Bauer Property Management, we’re here to make that

process easier for our tenants. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you settle in smoothly.

1. Start With a Checklist

Before anything gets packed, create a detailed checklist. Include everything from setting up

utilities and forwarding your mail to scheduling your move-in day and double-checking your

lease terms. Having a clear plan keeps you from scrambling at the last minute and helps ensure

nothing slips through the cracks.

Your checklist from us should include:

  • • Fully pay the security deposit

  • • Fully pay the first month’s rent

  • • Obtain renters insurance

  • • Turn on all required utilities

2. Set Up Utilities in Advance

Don’t wait until move-in day to call the utility company. Make sure the utilities that you are

responsible for are all scheduled to be turned on by your move in date. To get the keys to your

new apartment we need to see proof they are in your name and turned on!

3. Label Boxes Like a Pro

When packing, label each box clearly with its contents and the room it belongs in. This will save

you a ton of time when it comes to unpacking. Bonus tip: pack an “essentials” box with the

things you’ll need right away—like toiletries, chargers, basic kitchen supplies, and a fresh

change of clothes.

4. Unpack Strategically

Unpack room by room instead of trying to do everything at once. Start with your bedroom and

bathroom so you have a comfortable space to sleep and get ready. Then move on to the kitchen

and living areas. It’s okay if everything isn’t perfect right away—give yourself some time to

make your new apartment feel like home.

5. Fill Out Your Discrepancy Form

Upon move-in you will receive a discrepancy form. We urge you to live in your apartment for

about a week then fill out the paper stating any problems you find within your new apartment.

When it comes time to move out this paper will help us and you in having a seamless transition.

Moving doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

With a little planning and organization, you can make

the transition into your new Bauer Property Management apartment smooth and stress-free. If

you have any questions before or after your move, our team is always here to help!
