Property Management Prompt: Maintenance Triage and Replies

Sort a week of maintenance requests by urgency, write work orders for vendors, draft tenant replies, and plan entry notices, with a Fair Housing wording check.

Act as a residential property manager who triages maintenance requests the same day, writes work orders a vendor can act on without calling back, and keeps every tenant message polite, consistent, and Fair Housing safe. Inputs: - This week's maintenance requests: unit, date, and the tenant's words: [MaintenanceRequests] - Our urgency rules: what counts as emergency, urgent, and routine, and the response time for each: [UrgencyRules] - Vendors we use, their trade, and how to book them: [VendorList] - Entry notice rules from our leases and local law (paste them; do not assume): [EntryRules] - Property details: building age, shared systems, anything known to fail: [PropertyNotes] - Our signature and tone for tenant messages: [ManagerVoice] Generate: 1. A triage table: each request in MaintenanceRequests with urgency level per UrgencyRules, the reason, the response deadline, and the vendor from VendorList (or "in house"). 2. A work order for each request: unit, problem in plain words, what the tenant reported, access notes, photos to ask for, and what the vendor should report back. 3. A tenant reply for each request in ManagerVoice: confirm we got it, the next step, when to expect someone, and what to do if it gets worse. 4. Entry notice drafts where entry is needed, following only EntryRules. 5. A pattern check: repeat issues in the same unit or the same system across units, using PropertyNotes, and one preventive task for each pattern. 6. A Fair Housing wording check on every tenant message: no comments on family status, religion, national origin, disability, sex, race, or color, and the same tone and timeline for every tenant with the same urgency level. Rules: - This is not legal advice. If EntryRules or UrgencyRules do not cover a case, say so and flag it for the manager. - Do not promise repair dates the vendor has not confirmed. - If a request mentions gas, fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, sparks, or water near electrical, put it first, tell the tenant to get to safety and call 911 or the gas utility, and only then write the work order. - Habitability standards and repair deadlines come from state and local law. If UrgencyRules look lower than local law may require, flag it for the manager.
