RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN APARTMENT MANAGER

An apartment manager typically takes responsibility for the day-to-day operation of an apartment complex. His job often involves collecting rent and depositing payments or delivering them to the owner or property management company as well as contacting residents who have fallen behind on their rental payments. He may also handle requests, comments, and complaints from tenants. If a person needs maintenance or there is an emergency situation in one of the apartments, the manager is generally expected to find a solution, for large problems he may be required to contact the owner or if there is a property management company he would contact them. He may also advertise for new tenants, show the property and screen applicants.

One of an apartment manager’s most important jobs is finding tenants to fill vacancies. To do this, he often places ads in newspapers, phone directories, and apartment living guides, but may also use fliers, signs, Web sites, and other resources for generating interest. He may also create special promotions to make moving into a complex he manages a more attractive proposition. When a prospective tenant is interested in a vacancy, the property manager may give him a tour of the apartment and the grounds, collect his application, screen him, and either decide whether or not to rent to him or pass along the owner’s decision.

An apartment manager typically has a range of financial responsibilities. He may collect rents and security deposits. If a tenant is late, he may collect a late fee or begin other delinquency proceedings. An apartment manager may also pay bills the apartment complex incurs. For example, if the complex requires construction services, he could be responsible for paying the construction company.
