Good Morning and Happy RPM Week!
I am wondering if there is anyone who is using a ai chat, that will nurture leads, that integrates with Entrata AND works well with podded communities that have 1 central leasing office.
We currently use Resmate and they are amazing with our communities that have 1 property working out of the leasing office, but how we are mainly operate is 2-5 communities that works out of one leasing office. So it creates more...

Good Morning and Happy RPM Week! I am wondering if there is anyone who is using a ai chat, that will nurture leads, that integrates with Entrata AND works well with podded communities that have 1 central leasing office.  We currently use Resmate and they are amazing with our communities that have 1 property working out of the leasing office, but how we are mainly operate is 2-5 communities that works out of one leasing office. So it creates more strain on the team, doing double entry. Picture for attention: 2009 Leasing Professional in Charlotte, NC. I am sure some could tell with those white tip nails 🙂

Brenda Hammett I agree with the person above. If you are in a state that allows you to non renew without notice do just that. Unless he exposes himself or something along those lines there’s not a lot that can be done sadly.

Guest Insider Had something similar but the guy kept going outside to pee on trees. He would whip his D out regardless of his VERY close neighbors, their kids, etc. PD wouldn't do anything, we posted a notices, which were ignored, then escalated to a notice to vacate (he also had bad housekeeping). So filed eviction when he didn't leave. Judge asked why and I told him about the indecent exposure and he laughed at me and said "that isn't grounds for eviction and you have no proof". As a woman who witnessed this man and his D peeing on a tree, and having women AND CHILDREN complain to me about it, only for the judge to laugh at me, really sucked. I won the case, due to the housekeeping pics.
I'm only sharing this story because it's possible (not saying it wasn't ignored, but that it's possible) no one will let them do anything. Took 6 months to get this guy out of my property and I lost several amazing residents in the process who broke lease JUST to get away from this creep of a man.

Guest Insider I recently tempted at a property that had in Community Policies that they had 2 weeks after each Holiday to remove all decorations. But non Holiday wreaths were fine.

Guest Insider Honestly when you try to enforce it people do not like being told what to do, so it causes so much more unpleasantness and bickering. 100% not worth it!

Guest Insider I had a resident who kept her Christmas decor up until her son came home from an overseas deployment. Sometimes there might be a reason for the decor staying up. We still have people with holiday lights up.

U.S. Home Purchase affordability directly influences multifamily rental property rents and values. In 2023, only 16% of homes were affordable in America, falling from 21% in the year before.

An affordable listing was defined as one with a monthly mortgage payment no more than 30% of the median monthly income of that county. Below, we show the share of affordable listings in the 97 biggest U.S. metropolitan areas by population:

U.S. Home Purchase affordability directly influences multifamily rental property rents and values. In 2023, only 16% of homes were affordable in America, falling from 21% in the year before.An affordable listing was defined as one with a monthly mortgage payment no more than 30% of the median monthly income of that county. Below, we show the share of affordable listings in the 97 biggest U.S. metropolitan areas by population:Although mortgage rates may decline over the year if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, it may not be enough to boost the supply of affordable housing.That’s because rates may not fall sharply enough to undo the “golden handcuff” effect, where homeowners are reluctant to sell to hold on to their low mortgage rates. Adding to this, home construction has fallen significantly since the global financial crisis. During this time, home builders and lenders became increasingly cautious, leading home construction to drop 55% between 2006 and 2021.Although mortgage rates may decline over the year if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, it may not be enough to boost the supply of affordable housing.The good news is that new-home construction is forecast to increase in 2024, with single-family housing starts projected to grow 4.7%.

What do you think, should they have been served eviction notices for gardens?

James Shannon Eh, the request is more than likely coming from management or ownership.
They have the right to make that request and the tenants have to follow it or face the consequences.
Is it legal, yea. Is it moral, not really. But the situation got taken care of either way

Guest Insider These people are small minded . These people cared about the community . One reason I refuse to work at luxury apartments I like my residents to feel a ownership to their homes and that’s why mine never leave

Guest Insider on the flip side, this story is very one sided. The garden potentially could have been attracting unwanted pests (rats specifically) which could be a much bigger issue. I certainly understand ownership did not respond…..just trying to see both sides.

Interesting. What do y'all think? "We can't rent to you because you have a messy car" seems like a bad idea.

In the past couple of weeks I ran a poll on LinkedIn and you all were kind to share your thoughts on common misconceptions about leasing professionals. The option with the most votes indicates that many believe leasing professionals "just show apartments".

I'm now trying to go deeper and understand why this is. What could be causing this misconception, and how could we as an industry fix it. Would love any thoughts from folks in this fine...
