[ ] The repair in plain words, with photos, and whether it is a condition 8-211(d) names as a fire hazard or a serious and substantial threat, such as lack of heat, light, electricity, or hot or cold running water (8-211(d)(1)) unless it is the direct result of the tenant's failure to pay the charges for utilities the tenant pays, in a unit that is not a farm tenancy (8-211(c)).
[ ] The date the landlord received the tenant's notice, since under 8-211(g)(3), outside farm tenancies (8-211(c)), a period in excess of 30 days from receipt of notice is presumed unreasonable (a rebuttable presumption).
[ ] The entry plan: written notice to the tenant at least 24 hours in advance with the date, approximate time and specific purpose (8-221(c)), and a visit between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday unless the tenant agrees in writing to another time, except in an emergency (8-221(b)).
[ ] For move-out repairs charged to a withheld deposit, an invoice that identifies the materials or services provided, since the 8-203(j)(1) itemized statement shall include supporting documentation that identifies them (an estimate may satisfy it under 8-203(j)(2)).
[ ] For rodent work, whether the infestation of rodents is in two or more dwelling units, the item 8-211(d)(3) lists as a serious and substantial threat, outside farm tenancies (8-211(c)).
