Property owner and landlord permission
How do we collect the property owner's or landlord's signed permission before an installation in a rented or multi-dwelling property starts?
Treat the permission as a document from a third party with a deadline before the visit. When an order's address is a rented unit or a multi-dwelling building and the work needs the owner's consent (drilling, cabling in common areas, a rooftop or riser), Callvu classifies the permission needed from the address data and the customer's answers, asks the customer for the owner's or the property manager's contact, sends the owner a link with the permission form that describes the work, the equipment and the restoration, chases the owner on the appointment clock, reads and checks the signed permission (the signer's name against the ownership or management record, the scope, the date), routes a refusal, a conditional consent or an unreachable owner to the dispatcher in the Decision Desk, and writes the permission to the order in the BSS, the system of record, and the field system so the technician sees it before the visit.

The problem today
The technician drilled through the wall with the tenant's say-so, and the building owner's lawyer wrote to the carrier the following week.
Installations in rented homes and apartment buildings need someone other than the customer to agree: the owner, the property manager, the condominium association. The customer says it is fine; the technician believes them or does not; the owner finds out from the hole. In a multi-dwelling building the riser and the common areas are the owner's, and the access rules are the owner's and the law's.
The permission is a document: who may sign it, what work it covers, what restoration is promised, and when it must be in hand. The owner is a third party with no account and no reason to log in anywhere; a link with the form and the work described is the only thing they will act on. The technician needs it on the job before the visit, not in an email.
A signed permission before the visit is a visit that happens, and a wall that stays whole.
How it runs
From the requestto the system of record.
An order needs an installation at an address classified as rented or multi-dwelling, or the pre-visit questions reveal that the customer is not the owner. Callvu opens the permission case on the order.
- Customer
- Confirms the ownership situation and provides the owner's or the property manager's contact.
- Property owner or manager
- Reads the work description and signs the permission through a link, no account needed.
- Dispatcher
- Decides refusals, conditions and unreachable owners in the Decision Desk.
- Callvu
- Classifies, collects the contact, sends the form, chases, checks, routes and writes.
Classify the permission needed
The address data (a multi-dwelling unit, a known building with an existing agreement, a single family rental) and the customer's answers (owner, tenant, the building's manager) classify whether permission is needed, from whom, and for what work (an inside drop, a drilled entry, cabling in common areas, a rooftop or riser), and whether a building agreement already on file covers it.
Chase and verify the permission
The customer provides the owner's or the manager's name and contact; the owner receives a link with the permission form describing the work, the equipment, the entry points, the restoration promised and the carrier's responsibility, and signs it on their own device; the owner is chased on the appointment clock; the signed permission is read and checked (the signer against the ownership or management record where available, the scope against the work, the date, any conditions).
Decide
A clean permission proceeds by rule; a refusal, a conditional consent (a different entry point, a time restriction, a restoration condition), an owner who cannot be reached before the visit, or a signer whose authority is unclear goes to the dispatcher in the Decision Desk with the order and only the allowed outcomes (proceed under the conditions, change the install method, hold the visit, or cancel the order with the customer told).
Write back
The permission with its scope and conditions is written to the order in the BSS, the system of record, and to the field system so the technician sees it on the job, the building's agreement record is updated for future orders at the address, and the customer is told the visit is confirmed.
Where it ends: The permission was identified from the address, obtained from the owner through a link they could act on, checked and attached to the order and the job before the technician arrived. The Decision Trace shows the classification, the checks and any decision; the Audit Trace shows the request, the chases, the signature and the write with time.
Runtime enforcement
What is enforcedwhile the work runs.
The regulations preloaded in Callvu Studio and the bank's own policies, applied as steps that run, not lines in a binder. A step that breaks a rule does not run, so a completed run was compliant.
The handoff
Between the front doorand the back office.
The front door
The customer's answers in the pre-visit questions; the owner through a link on their own device.
The back office
The dispatcher decides only refusals, conditions and unreachable owners; the technician sees the permission on the job.
The Decision Desk
- A refusal, a conditional consent, an unreachable owner or an unclear signer goes to the dispatcher in the Decision Desk with the order and only proceed under conditions, change the method, hold, or cancel.

Questions
What buyers ask next,answered plainly.
When is permission needed?
When the address is a rented unit or a multi-dwelling building and the work touches the structure or common areas; the classification decides from the address data, the customer's answers and any building agreement on file.
How does the owner sign?
Through a link on their own device with the work, the equipment, the entry points and the restoration described; no account or printed form.
What if the owner refuses?
The dispatcher decides: change the install method where possible, hold the visit, or cancel the order with the customer told, all on the record.
