Tenant’s alternative to renting:
manage an apartment complex
3y JOAN HERMAN
Managing an apartment com
plex is a job some students take
to help survive the high costs of
a college education
Nick Maddalena, a graduate
student in special education,
manages a 20-unit complex
close to campus. For Mad
dalena, as well as for most
students, the main reason he
took the job was free rent (worth
$260.) But as he points out,
there are other benefits, too
“As an apartment manager I
can somewhat choose who will
live in the building,” Maddalena
says. "For example, when
someone comes to inquire
about an apartment I ask them if
they like to play their stereo loud
or have wild parties. If they do, I
discourage them from renting
an apartment from me. I want to
keep the building quiet.”
"Another advantage to apart
ment management is that the
experience looks impressive on
a job resume, especially il
someone wants to go into busi
ness management,” Maddalena
says
Unlike most jobs, there are no
rigid hours when one must be
working, although most man
agers do keep regular office
hours when tenants can discuss
any problems they may be hav
ing.
Managers must also be
available at odd hours for small
emergencies, such as letting
renters into their apartments
when they've forgotten their
keys, or unclogging sinks, to
name just a few of an apartment
manager s duties.
As an apartment manager
Maddalena says that he's busi
est at the beginning and end of
each term, when students are
either moving in or out. As part
of his duties he must make sure
that the apartments are clean
when someone moves out If
they are not, he must clean
them.
Other duties typically include
collecting rent, general main
tenance, such as keeping the
grounds clean, and various
minor repairs
All things considered, the job
averages out to about 20 hours
of work a month, Maddalena
says. "Some days I may work
several hours, but then a few
weeks may pass when very little
must be done "
For those interested in
property management, Eleanor
Shantz, who owns and manages
apartments in Eugene, suggests
that managers be well
balanced, with a strong interest
in people She feels that "one
must be able to make decisions
and then live with them Don't
make any promises that you
can t keep, and don't be partial
Serve all your tenants equally ."
"But above all," says Shantz,
"be organized "
Kay Nelson, of Gordon Olson
Investments, interviews poten
tial apartment managers "We
prefer to hire someone that we
already know, usually someone
that has rented from us," says
Nelson
For those interested in
property management, Nelson
suggests that students talk with
the manager or owner of their
complex.
If that doesn’t work, try calling
some of the larger companies in
town that own apartment com
plexes, such as Income Proper
ty Management (IPM) or Gordon
Olson Investments And don't
forget to check the "help want
ed" section of the newspaper
because many of the jobs are
advertised
