Join an all-star panel of apartment industry executives for a timely discussion on one of the hottest topics in multifamily: What does a “return to normal” look like? Apartment communities are beginning to partially re-open amenities spaces, leasing offices, and in-unit maintenance. What are best practices, and how does it differ by market and property type?
RealPage® Deputy Chief Economist/VP Jay Parsons is joined by Camden Property Trust EVP Laurie Baker, AMLI President and CEO Maria Banks, Kairoi Residential EVP Tammy Freiling and others for COVID-19: Returning to “Normal” Apartment Operations.
Discussion will include:
- Best practices for phased re-opening of common areas, amenities and leasing offices – and how the approach can vary by location and property type.
- Insight on what Covid-era operational changes – virtual leasing, virtual resident engagement, outsourced operations – could become part of “the new normal.”
- Operational strategies to work through maintenance requests, previously planned renovations and adjusted budgets.
- Latest trends on leasing traffic and lease signings, resident retention, pricing and collections.
