I'm curious if anyone in California works as an Apartment Manager for a small complex, and if so, what type of pay do they receive other than their free apartment?
The most common form of compensation is a discounted or free apartment. Unfortunatley, California law is quite clear that in order to compensate a manager in that fashion, there must be a voluntarily entered into written agreement, and there are strict limits on the amount of credit which may be taken against the owner's obligation to pay minimum wage. And minimum wage is the key: A resident manager must be paid minimum wage for every hour spent actually working for the owner, whether it is straight payroll, or based on a credit for rent. As to what is most commonly paid, I have seen all extremes and everything in the middle. I had one prospective client who got, no kidding, $40,00.00 a year PLUS a free apartment. I represented another woman who got a free apartment and nothing else; they made such huge demands on her time that she wasn't able to take a side job and had to get Food Stamps! Good luck to you in negotiating a living wage.
