Posted notices at three complexes today for a bank assessor to do inspections on Friday.

One of our previous residents left his apartment with fleas. We though we had the problem taken care of until we moved someone into that apartment and had to emergency transfer them out of it within a week due to fleas. We had the exterminator come back and take care […]

Every morning upon arriving at the office, the whole staff takes part in the morning routine. This routine is mostly about cleaning and preparing the office for the day. We look over the model, office, fitness center and anywhere else we need to to be sure everything looks good and […]

Here are bits and pieces of what my day looked like yesterday 7/5.   Came into the office with 7 new voicemails and 44 unread emails. I moved in a new resident. We had Red Cross at our property for a blood drive. Our fire alarms went off from a […]

Cleaned the dirtiest apartment of the summer today. You never know what you’ll get until you open that door.

Starting on Friday we had people whose leases started on 7/1 begin the move in process. One tenant that we had moving in was very unsatisfied to say the least with their unit. When they toured their unit, they didn’t tour the unit they were going to be staying in […]

Yesterday I had a resident very frustrated with me when I told them that the maintenance team would not be able to attend to her non-emergency maintenance request until Tuesday, as they had the Holiday off.  Sometimes it is hard to remain polite with a resident when they do not […]

At the end of the day property management is all about the numbers.  It can be difficult at times to raise rent with a resident is looking to renew.  However, it is a necessity in order for the property to be successful.  The property I am working at now is […]

On top of all of the move outs we’ve had this week, we’ve also had a lot of calls about rent, since it is the holiday weekend. We give residents from the 1st to the 3rd to pay their rent, and as of the 4th their rent becomes late and […]

Last week was busy for myself and the other interns that were on the same team as me. We had a team meeting on Friday. Every property is assigned to a team, which consists of three to four properties in the immediate area. These properties then meet up once a […]

Last week we had a fire at our property. It was a small pan fire but enough to set off the sprinkler system in the unit. Unfortunately for us that unit was due to move out in two days making the turn of that apartment much more difficult. Fortunately for […]

When interning at a property management company, no day will ever be exactly the same. Through my internship at Weidner Apartment Homes i have been exposed to many different aspects of the property management field. I have done everything from working in the office, housekeeping, all the way to maintenance. […]

Since it’s the end of the month, we’ve had a lot of move outs scheduled for this week. Today we had 8 move outs. I got to work side-by-side with our leasing manager in moving everyone out and see how different every case is of a move out. It’s sad […]

I got an interesting chance to spend time going out to competitors’ properties to figure out what the necessities are for a new development site down here in Texas. It was a fun experience! LG
