Good afternoon everybody, happy Friday! We currently have smart TV’s in our community spaces and fitness centers throughout our portfolio. On these TVs, we often will stream music and branded content. There is a company we’ve worked with in the past called BIM and are looking to cancel our services with them. They mention that we have to have some sort of license agreement in place on all of these TVs in order to stream music. My rebuttal to...Good afternoon everybody, happy Friday! We currently have smart TV’s in our community spaces and fitness centers throughout our portfolio. On these TVs, we often will stream music and branded content. There is a company we’ve worked with in the past called BIM and are looking to cancel our services with them. They mention that we have to have some sort of license agreement in place on all of these TVs in order to stream music. My rebuttal to them is that it is no different than us streaming YouTube on these TVs whereas their services are not needed for these devices if we went down that route. Does anyone else work with BMI? They are basically telling me it’s a multifamily requirement for this license and I don’t agree. Thoughts and feedback are appreciated! Show more

Every day, they juggle resident needs, maintenance coordination, and countless administrative tasks with remarkable skill and dedication.
While showing appreciation through gestures both big and small, the most meaningful way to support these invaluable team members is by empowering them with tools that truly make a difference in their daily operations.
This is why implementing a strong resident engagement platform is such a bonus for managers.

Brand new community and hardly any availability.
(1.)Tim lives in middle floor apartment 231. Very noise sensitive. He has complained numerous times about Sally and Mike who live above him in 241. Office team contacted and they claim nothing purposeful and so sorry many times.
(2.) The people in 251 unexpectedly moved out (top floor home). Tim comes in and asks to please transfer and even is ok with $500 transfer fee, just so he can not be bothered and live on the top floor. Transfer is approved to help him enjoy his living experience.
(3.) Sally and Mike become aware that complainer Tim has moved ABOVE THEM and now are saying Tim is retaliating by stomping and being over the top noisy. Sally and Mike are extremely upset with the office and want a resolution. Sally and Mike are told by the office that they will ask Tim to be mindful but that Tim had the right like anyone to transfer and could not deny him from transfer to a top floor. They do not want to meet Tim to talk and say they are in fear of him.
