  • Work with property management and accounting staff to ensure that management remains in compliance with court
  • Assist with drafting routine correspondence, notices, and internal memos related to landlord-tenant issues.
  • Organize resident meetings to review account balances, legal case status, delinquency history, or any other topics related to a tenant’s ability to meet their lease obligations.
  • Review legal bills and invoices from outside landlord-tenant counsel to ensure accuracy and adherence to budgetary guidelines.
  • Stay updated on changes in landlord-tenant law that may impact ownership or property management practices.
