Photos and video

With the shooting date: a dirty stairwell, stains on the ceiling, an overflowing bin area.

Reports

About a leak, or that a service was not provided. If the company refused to draw up a report, write that down.

Request numbers

The number from the emergency service, a stamp of receipt on your letter copy, a screenshot from the app.

Bills

If you dispute the charges – for several months, so the difference is visible.

Neighbours’ signatures

A joint complaint from several flats shows that the problem is common.

Wording
