Policies

The policies, in plain words

Keys, codes, breakage, cancellations and pets. Mahlet reviews them with you before the first visit.

Keys, codes and alarms

Keys and codes are shared only with your team, kept off the schedule after each visit, and never written on a key tag with your address.

  • We log every entry and exit

  • Alarm codes stay in Mahlet's file, not in the van

  • Change the code any time and tell us

If a pet gets out

We call you straight away, search the yard and the street, and stay until you say what's next. See the pets page.

  • A call, not a text, first

  • A written note of who was in the house

If something breaks or goes missing

Tell us within 48 hours, with a photo. Mahlet answers within one business day and handles it through the firm's insurance where it applies.

  • We never move valuables to clean under them

  • Please put out anything fragile or sentimental

Cancellations and lockouts

Move a visit by 5 p.m. the day before and there's no charge. After that, the visit fee on your estimate may apply. If we can't get in, we wait fifteen minutes, call you and may charge the visit fee.

  • The fee amount is on your estimate

  • Illness or emergency: call and tell Mahlet
