The Playbook / Live It / Thirdly — Being a Great Renter
See something, say something.
Not every observation needs to become a phone call — and not every safety concern should wait. This walks you through when to say something, and gives you a template that keeps it clear and calm.
What's normal
Communities work better when renters flag things. But 'say something' works best when it's specific, calm, and based on more than one bad moment.
Walk through it.
Does this affect anyone's safety right now?
Whose responsibility does this seem to be?
Have you noticed it more than once?
Template — sharing something with the office
Edit any bracketed field, then Copy. Your edits stay on this page.
Community Notes
Save what you notice around the property — a broken exterior light, a hallway where packages disappear — so you can remember specifics later. Private to you, stored on your device. Never a formal report.
