When should you actually call your landlord?
1. In an emergency
Obviously. But a real emergency, like a fire or flood or something else that threatens life or the structure of the building. So, a small leak might not require an immediate call, if you can fix it yourself or just stick a bucket under it until he has some spare time. But a leak resulting in waterlogged carpet? CALL.
2. When you spot pests
Mice, rats, roaches, bedbugs. Let your landlord know about these before they get worse.
3. Upon discovering a threat to your health
This could take a number of forms—mold (not a joke people! And not good unless on bleu cheese), broken stair, missing railing, etc. If your apartment could cause you harm, it’s in your landlord’s interest (as well as your own) to get this fixed ASAP. Similarly, if your fire alarms don’t work—or don’t exist!—even after battery replacement, get this fixed immediately.
4. If someone breaks in
Another kind of threat to your health! Call your landlord and the police. If you’re worried that a break-in might occur—you have an actual good reason, like sub-par security or an increase in neighborhood crime—then talk to your landlord during business hours, but don’t feel like you need to call him at home.
5. When you decide you want to make structural changes to your apartment
Major repairs or renovations are your landlord’s purview; if you want to change something, you need to check first.
6. Your partner moves in
Another time you want to check first. Sure, your significant other can sleep over regularly, but if you want to share the same address, you need to make sure you’re not violating your lease or any occupancy rules.
When else should you get in touch with your landlord? Tell us here or on Facebook!

Some of them points are really straight forward but all too often you will over look them.Your response depends on what illegal activity you suspect. If you think your neighbors are dealing drugs, definitely contact your landlord, who will then call the police.

Hi Robert — great advice! It’s super important to be mindful of your safety, and if there are illegal or dangerous activities going on around you, that can definitely be an issue. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
