Hopefully you submitted the the original budget in writing and have a copy.
Resubmit the budget with a memo stating you recognized the need for the revised budget (dated) months ago as a drop in residency was coming.
, distribute at restaurants, beauty salons, coffee shops, Chamber of commerce, BBB, etc.
Submit a revised emergency budget, explaining that you will continue to utilize Craig's List and the other things you are doing but with a % vacancy with a $oo,ooo.oo monthly short fall you need massive public awareness and all this sites combined will, repeatedly, put your apartments front of X amount of people.
Do not give anything away. No TV's, no free rent, nothing. I told prospects that, unlike most apartments complexes we didn't need to give anything away to acquire tenants. I also raised the rent 100 per month and offered a $50.00 per month discount to those 55 and older. $50.00 to active or retired military. $50 discount to those who signed 2 year lease.
Never complain to the company that it is their fault because they did not listen to you earlier. Keep every thing up beat. If they fire you, SUE for lost wages and harm to your professional reputation. Lay your ground work to succeed either way.

I love a challenge! lots of stay positive advice. I suggest a team meeting, pull up guest cards and do some cold calling. Next ask your favorite residents to market for you by checking with all their friends to see if anyone is thinking about moving. get on all social media...drop by businesses near you that are open and drop off a sealed box of cookies!
This is your chance to prove that your team can create magic.

How about providing comps to your supervisor to show why a $100 increase is not feasible and what price they would rent?

Just a thought. Try FB market place. A lot of our leads are generated there. Just a thought.

I would just keep pushing! Focus on the positives!!! You got three weeks. Remember fear of loosing a job is a great motivator to become savage - get those leases. You can do it! I believe in you. Put out job apps anywhere you for a back up. Sometimes you gotta just be a Viking and go into war! You got this ... Don’t give up. Everyone is increasing rents, everyone is in a hard market, everyone’s back is up against the wall! You will be different and survive because you won’t take your eye off the prize. Corporate rarely supports until it’s them on the chop block ... specials come after you have turned it around and there’s ???? in the tunnel. I will give you the key to success the struggle you are facing is being on the fence. Get off the fence be a leasing Queen Dont listen to the hype! Rarely does the devoted all in person get canned. I think you can do this and greater. I believe in you and your success!!!
