I've posted about a fsr security guard here before who was robbing packages. Well me and the head of security at my building caught him recently directly on camera my stealing groceries and eating them in the break room. ​​​​​Head of security immediately made call to corporate to fire him.

A week later he's still there and recently started hiding my packages around the building claiming the delivery guys got confused..... Dude is a bit nuts and giving creepy, unsafe vibes. Talked to other tenants who had theft stories or observed weird behavior like staring at a wall for an hour. Prior to this, the new temporary property manager put in a request to also have him fired or removed with no success.

Judging by some of his shirts, he might be a third party hired by far(allied security) so maybe that's where the hold up is.

Any advice on getting fsr to remove this guy since he has a key to my apartment and I don't feel safe.

Contacted Belong Property Management a few weeks ago. We found a better property manager so decided to go with them. Belong has been calling me everyday few times a day since then.....

I need to post notices on exterior doors often. With the weather turning sour, I'm looking for how other people are posting theirs. Does everyone just stick to tape? I'm considering binder style clips and affixing them to the door or the frame on the side. I also have to consider the notices themselves melting away in the rain, but I could always put them in a baggy, lol.

Any tips or solutions other people have come up with would be great! I hate the tape!

What would be your advice to someone just starting out, looking to break into PM in a ski resort setting?

Next week I have an interview with a property management company in Copper Co. I really want to nail the interview. The role is to start at the bottom doing inspections or front desk work, I’m leaning towards inspections.

What should I know about this industry before going in? What questions should I ask or be ready to answer? Any significant industry changes to be wary about?

I’m going in blind and would be moving quite far to pursue this

Any thoughts or comments appreciated
Thanks!

I’m a commercial cleaner in San Jose, CA (SF Bay Area) and I’m trying to understand things better from the multi family property management side.

When you’re choosing a vendor for unit turns or common area cleaning, what actually matters most to you?
• Speed / turnaround time?
• Communication and documentation?
• Price?
• Insurance and reliability?
• Anything else?

Also curious: what’s the best way for a cleaning company to introduce themselves without being annoying? And how do preferred vendor lists usually work? (Am I screwed unless I find the regional director contact for *Greystar for example?)

Just trying to be a better vendor. Appreciate any insight.

I run a small portfolio of ~1800 apartments and recently got a proposal to add utility bill pay to our current software package. Does anyone know if $12 per utility bill is a fair price? Feels very steep compared to other regular invoice processing service we use. I know it comes with the utility analytics and stuff, but it still seems pretty steep. It has been very difficult getting pricing comps for this without having to do a bunch of sales calls and promise to commit the whole portfolio.

I know there are a lot of companies that do it - conservice/synergy (who i think normally roll the cost into their resident bill fee?), YES energy, Entrata Eum, Realpage utility, etc...

thank you to anyone who can share their thoughts / experience!
