Real estate isn’t always about selling homes. When it comes to rental properties, apartment managers are needed in residential and commercial real estate. Apartment manager jobs specifically pertain to residential real estate, but the duties are similar: he or she corresponds with and manages tenants and maintains a portfolio of properties. Experience for this position has greater value than education, and those who start off in a clerical position in an apartment office may work their way up to managing some of the properties over time.

Apartment manager jobs focus on real estate, building maintenance, and overseeing the property office. The apartment manager supervises all employees in the office. He or she needs solid computer and financial skills, the latter of which is helpful in budget preparation and financial reporting. Knowledge of Microsoft Office and accounting software is essential.

Apartment manager jobs involve working with tenants, including potential and existing renters. The apartment manager will collect rent from existing tenants and renew leases. He or she will also be the individual to answer any questions and hear any complaints from tenants. When potential tenants are applying to rent a property, the apartment manager will interview them and manage their applications, including conducting background and credit checks.

The apartment manager is responsible for the upkeep of all properties – not in the maintenance sense but in regards to recordkeeping. He or she implements and enforces all property standards and yearly – if not every six months – inspects all apartments with a maintenance team. When maintaining the portfolio for all properties, the apartment manager records the state of each property, including all repairs made to each and contracted services needed.
