  • Screen tenant applications thoroughly and prepare property leases in accordance with regulations.
  • Oversee the lease enforcement process: approve prospective applications, issue proper legal notices, manage evictions, and impose/collect late fees or other allowable charges per lease terms.
• Maintenance Coordination & Property Inspections

  • Follow up with residents post-repair to ensure work is completed to their satisfaction.
  • Conduct regular physical property inspections to ensure buildings and grounds meet established safety, cleanliness, and aesthetic standards.
