If you want and if you qualify, you can opt-in to have Latchel source a new vendor if none of your preferred vendors are available. Our team may source a new vendor on the spot or source someone that we have previously worked with in your area. <\/span>For all Latchel vendor charges, Latchel automatically charges your Vendor\u00a0Payment Method<\/strong> on file.<\/p>\n

**To qualify, you must have an emergency hard budget limit<\/a> set to $500 or higher<\/strong> and a non-emergency hard budget limit of $250 or higher<\/strong>. Additionally, we do not send our network of contractors out to collect bids or to get estimates. All bids will only be assigned to your preferred vendors. If you do not have a service provider, you can provide Latchel with a reasonable budget for the job and we will attempt to get someone out to complete the work. Latchel works off of budget limits which means as long as the work will be under your set budget limit, we don\u2019t expect an estimate from the vendor. We only escalate to you for approvals when the vendor goes onsite and finds that the work will cost more than the hard budget limit that you provide us. For additional details, please contact your Customer Success Manager by emailing success@latchel.com<\/a>.

When you add a Vendor Payment Method to your company level settings, your entire account has automatically opted into the Latchel Contractor Network. You can choose to opt a portfolio or property out of the Latchel Contractor Network entirely or you can change the payment method at the portfolio or property level if it’s different than the payment method set at the company level. Additionally, you can skip applying a Vendor Payment Method at the company level and add a payment method at the portfolio or property level if you only want to enable the Latchel Contractor Network for a portfolio or a single property.
