Friends - I need your expertise. ‼️ Is it onsite or on-site when referring to property management? Hyphen or no hyphen? 🚨 Merriam Webster says on-site should be hyphenated. The Cambridge dictionary includes onsite (without the hyphen) and on-site (hyphenated), while the American Heritage dictionary only lists onsite (no hyphen).
One day they're putting in a maintenance request to have a lightbulb changed, while their rent is late, and the next day they're putting in their notice because they bought a house. Sure, good luck with that.
Employee concessions.
Reaching out to see how others handle employee concessions?
Also, do you offer concessions to employees who work at one site and live at a sister property?
Thank you!

Here's an interesting one....
We are a mid-rise community with all interior parking garage parking. Everyone pays $25 to park per month, or $100 for a reserved space. I've recently been asked twice by people with disabilities if there is a waiver of parking fee for disabled parking. We do have handicapped parking spaces in the garage. My feeling is that everyone pays for covered parking regardless of who you are, but disabled people have access...Here's an interesting one....
We are a mid-rise community with all interior parking garage parking. Everyone pays $25 to park per month, or $100 for a reserved space. I've recently been asked twice by people with disabilities if there is a waiver of parking fee for disabled parking. We do have handicapped parking spaces in the garage. My feeling is that everyone pays for covered parking regardless of who you are, but disabled people have access to those priority spaces. My further feeling is that if a disabled person wants a spot that only they can park in closer to an entry door, they would still need to pay that $100 reserved space cost monthly. Would that seem correct?

In Dalllas, TX, we are required to have recycling at our properties. Funny enough, we recycled before the mandate. Anyway, we use a 3 or 4 yd container serviced by WM that is clearly marked “recycling” yet tenants continue to throw non-recyclables in the container. We pass thru the charges to...

When asked, many operators will say they only accept digital payments and their communities are 100% paperless. However, after further exploration, we realize there are many exceptions, such as past resident payments, residents in eviction status, or even new move-ins, where many site team members will accept a paper payment. The fact is that nearly half of renters still pay by check or money order. Ensuring a consistent revenue stream is fundame ...
A live-in aide request. For properties like senior living communities, this is a regular request, and the procedure is memorized by many of the staff.

What are some of the nuances you should be aware of? Let's break it down.Remember, Disability Is a Protected CategoryW ...

Exploring the Perception Divide Between Pet-Friendly and Pet-Inclusive Rental Housing In recent years, the relationship between humans and their animal companions has evolved dramatically. Pets are no longer just animals; they're valued members of the family, deserving of love, care, and accommodation. This shift in perception has significant implications, particularly in the realm of rental housing. Owners and property managers are no longer fac ...

Doesn't the Covid-19 pandemic seem like it happened a lifetime ago?I remember at the very beginning of the pandemic, when no one had any information and everyone was freaked out, my husband went out in the early morning (to avoid crowds) to go grocery shopping. He was of course wearing rubber kitchen gloves but no mask, because at the time everyone thought Covid might be spread by touch. He got a huge haul, because who knew if the grocery s ...
Hi All. One of our properties is going to have a handful of more college students (townhome units). Was wondering if anyone has an addendum with regard to noise/parties? Our lease is already very detailed but I'm just looking to see what others do. We are not all student housing, but we have a property closely located to a private college and out of 61 units, we have about 6-10 or so with students. Normally there have not been too many issues, but I...Hi All. One of our properties is going to have a handful of more college students (townhome units). Was wondering if anyone has an addendum with regard to noise/parties? Our lease is already very detailed but I'm just looking to see what others do. We are not all student housing, but we have a property closely located to a private college and out of 61 units, we have about 6-10 or so with students. Normally there have not been too many issues, but I just want to kind of add a little something to be ahead of any issues (usually loud parties, parking in places they shouldn't and not cleaning up their outside space). Just kind of thinking outloud. Thanks! Show more
Random question ~~ when remodeling a kitchen with new counters and sink, would you remove a working disposal? I mean, take it out and not replace it.

On-site is the preferred use when being used as an adjective or adverb before a noun, as is off-site. On site or off site are preferred use after a noun or pronoun when used as a location phrase versus referring directly to the noun.
Onsite is accepted more these days in American English as hyphen use fades, but offsite is less accepted in the dehyphenization "movement."
Technically onsite or on-site are both correct, but on-site is still, for now, the preferred grammatical term.
