"I own a rental property and need an electrician to check out a breaker that keeps tripping. I live an hour away."
I get these calls pretty often. I tell them that there are no options with me sending a bill. The tenant can sign for the work and pay or I can take a credit card over the phone from the owner. I haven't been burned yet using this system. The problem I can see arising is that the owner doesn't sign any type of contact.
These questions might be for CA Contractors
1. Is a contract between me and the tenant even legal? Its not their property
2. If I emailed a contract to this owner and had them email me back, "I have read the contract and accept the terms" Would that hold up?
