When a tenant says the gate at your Cherokee Valley rental won’t close, send a work order that shows where it catches and who needs access. A few clear photos can help you get a more useful estimate for your Olive Branch property.
Take three photos before you send the work order
Start wide. Photograph the whole gate, both posts and the fence on either side. Say whether it’s a private yard gate or a shared entry.
Show where it catches. If it’s safe to move the gate, photograph it at the point where it rubs or stops. Tell us if it drags on the ground or only latches when you lift it.
Get close to the hardware. Show the latch, hinges and any loose fasteners you can see. Mention whether a post moves when the gate swings.
Include the details your vendor needs
Name the gate’s location, say when the issue started, and note who can grant access and approve the work. If you’re managing a turnover, include the move-in date and any materials or finish you want matched.
If the work could involve replacing a fence or digging for a post, check the Olive Branch Planning and Development fence guidance and see Mississippi 811’s utility locate information. For neighborhood reference, see the Olive Branch neighborhood directory.
