[ ] The repair in plain words, with photos, tied to the 37-6-30(a) item the landlord shall meet: to make all repairs necessary to keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition, unless the repairs were necessitated primarily by a lack of reasonable care by the tenant (37-6-30(a)(4)), or to maintain in good and safe working order the facilities and appliances supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord (37-6-30(a)(5)).
[ ] For a heat or hot water job in a dwelling unit supplied by direct public utility connections: the dates, since 37-6-30(a)(7) names reasonable heat between October 1, and the last day of April.
[ ] For move-out repairs: the termination date of the tenancy and the date a subsequent tenant occupies the premise, since the notice period ends within 60 days of the termination of the tenancy or within 45 days of the occupation of the premise by a subsequent tenant, whichever time period is shorter (37-6A-1(7)).
[ ] If damages exceed the deposit and require a third party contractor: the date the landlord gave written notice within the applicable notice period, which opens the additional fifteen day period to itemize the damages and the cost of repair (37-6A-2(c)).
[ ] The deduction record: under 37-6A-3(1) the landlord shall maintain and itemize records for each tenant of all deductions from security deposits for one year after the termination of the tenancy.
