Write a repair request to a landlord
When to use this goal
For students preparing to rent who would wait for a problem to get worse or report it without the facts a landlord needs. Writing can be typed, dictated, or sent through a property portal; present levels in written expression decide supports, not grade.
- Baseline
- Collect 2 or 3 requests from different scenarios and score them with the rubric before teaching the template. Note whether missing parts are facts the student did not notice or did not write.
- Tips
- Include a real emergency card in the lesson: gas smells, no heat in winter, and flooding are calls, not messages. Students in supported living can send requests to their housing provider.
- Limits
- Does not cover tenant rights or disputes; refer families to local tenant resources for those. Scores reflect written requests only.

Goal

Baseline: 3 out of 8 rubric points.
