Maintenance Coordination with Autopilot

How Autopilot coordinates maintenance.

Autopilot manages maintenance coordination on your behalf — from tenant request to vendor scheduling — while keeping you informed and in control of approvals.


How Tenants Submit Requests

Tenants submit maintenance requests directly through their TurboTenant portal. Each request includes:

  • A description of the issue

  • Photos (when applicable)

  • Contact details for scheduling

You and our team are notified immediately.


Initial Review & Triage

Once a request is submitted our team takes care of the following:

  • Review the details

  • Determine urgency (routine vs urgent)

  • Gather additional information if needed

For urgent issues (e.g., water leaks, loss of heat, safety concerns), we act quickly to prevent property damage and protect habitability.


Vendor Selection

Autopilot works with a vetted network of maintenance vendors to handle repairs at your property. Vendors are carefully selected and monitored to ensure they meet professional standards for reliability, quality, and responsiveness - so you’re not letting just anyone into your home.

When a repair is needed:

  1. We request a quote or estimate from a qualified vendor.

  2. Our team reviews the scope and pricing.

  3. We present the bid to you for approval before any work begins.

You always retain full control over repair approvals, and no work moves forward without your authorization.


Owner Approval

Before non-emergency work begins:

  • You receive the repair estimate

  • You approve or decline the proposed work

  • Once approved, we coordinate scheduling

For emergency situations where delay could cause damage, we may move forward to stabilize the issue and notify you immediately.


Scheduling & Completion

After your approval:

  • We coordinate scheduling between the vendor and tenant

  • We track completion

  • We confirm the issue has been resolved

All communication is documented in your dashboard.


Payment Handling

Vendors are typically paid directly by the owner. Autopilot coordinates the repair process but does not mark up maintenance costs. If you use a home warranty company:

  • We can assist with vendor scheduling

  • We cannot initiate claims, pay premiums, or negotiate policy terms


Turnover & Larger Projects

For routine turnover items (cleaning, minor repairs, small fixes):

  • We can coordinate vendors

For major renovations (flooring replacement, large remodels):

  • Owners are responsible for managing those projects


Your Role as an Owner

With Autopilot, you:

  • Approve repair estimates

  • Cover the cost of maintenance and repairs

  • Remain legally responsible for property habitability

We manage the coordination so you don’t have to handle vendor calls or scheduling.
