• A tripped breaker can cause a partial power outage – Your apartment uses multiple electrical circuits, so a single tripped breaker may affect only certain lights, outlets, appliances, or equipment such as your air conditioner or microwave while the rest of the home continues to have power.
• Check your breaker panel if power is missing in only part of your home – Look for a breaker that is in the middle position or appears different from the others, then firmly switch it fully to “Off” before returning it to “On.”
• If the breaker trips again or will not reset – Stop using the affected appliances or outlets and contact your leasing office for assistance, as this may indicate an overloaded circuit or an electrical issue that requires attention.
