• Inspect completed maintenance and vendor work before approving payment to protect the long term value of the community.

Occupancy, Leasing Support, and Resident Retention

• Support the Centralized Leasing team with onsite tours, move in coordination, and key handoff.
• Keep unit status, availability, and make ready dates accurate in Yardi so leasing information is current.
