Short answer
Emergency and routine vendors need clear contact information, scope and licensing where required. A register reduces response time.
What to do next
Record trade, service area, emergency availability, insurance evidence and recent job history.
Save the current lease, dated messages, receipts and any property-specific evidence together. A useful record shows what happened, when it happened and which document or rule you relied on.

Rules may change and the right answer can depend on the home, city, lease and timing. Review the current official material before signing, charging a fee, sending a notice or making a legal decision.
