repairs and maintenance
Explanation:
'Klachtenonderhoud' and 'mutatie-onderhoud' are both 'repairs and maintenance', just undertaken for different reasons. Not sure if such a fine distinction is helpful in a CV.

-> "Onder het klachtenonderhoud wordt verstaan het verhelpen van die klachten die door de huurder worden opgemerkt en aan ons worden doorgegeven. Dit kunnen spoedeisende klachten zijn maar ook normale onderhoudsklachten. ...
Onder mutatie onderhoud wordt verstaan al het onderhoud dat gesignaleerd wordt tijdens of na het wisselen van huurders."

-> "Repairs & Maintenance - As a Staffordshire Housing Association resident, you can expect a prompt, efficient service when repairs are needed in your home. Your Tenancy Agreement gives full details about our obligations for home repairs."
