In Iran the tenant — not the landlord — handles most repairs. A directory of recommended tradesmen, plus the home-service apps that make finding help easy.
Once you have secured accommodation and settled in, things will inevitably get damaged, stop working or break down. Unlike many Western countries, where the landlord handles most repairs, in Iran it is the tenant who is primarily responsible — even for assets belonging to the property. Common issues include gas boiler faults, water-cooler servicing, kitchen appliance repairs, a malfunctioning water pump, leaking toilets and pest infestations.
The good news is that there is no shortage of plumbers, electricians and handymen ready to take on most jobs. Below is a list of professionals recommended by fellow students.

Home-service apps
Alongside this directory, there are home-service apps that connect you with professionals offering domestic services, repairs and maintenance. They let you request and schedule work, browse providers and handle payment.
One popular, multi-city app is Sanjak, covering a broad range of services — cleaning, plumbing, IT, removals and much more. You select the service from the listed categories, enter some basic details, and receive quotes from several professionals so you can compare prices and pick the best fit. Another similar app is Amyar 24 which — while not as streamlined as Sanjak — is specific to Qum.
