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).
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.

One of the biggest benefits of apartment living is maintaining a resident's apartment. Residents don't have to try to find a contractor, don't have to wade through reviews, don't have to price shop, and don't even have to alter their schedule to be there while their problem is fixed. But do we do a great job of showcasing that value beyond saying, "we provide maintenance"? Tony Sousa recently wrote, "Maintenance is your ...

1. No one is taking advantage of SMS after inquiry. I was called many times but not texted once. And very few have an opt-in to text on the inquiry page. With text being the #1 method of communication, this was unusual.2. No one is taking advantage of email automation. Send the text confirmation and then follow up with a more robust email. Email is the perfect place to push the differentiators and include content. Let them know through email. 3. ...
A pet-friendly approach is commendable and does wonders for an apartment community. It makes the property more appealing to a wider pool of renters and gives residents a chance to connect through their pets. It also means more wear and tear. Pets not only are present in designated pet areas—they'll also regularly traverse a property's other outdoor spaces and common areas. Naturally, they also spend many hours within the apartment home in which ...
::IDEAS PLEASE::: We have a large hospital nearby that has 100s of new employees moving to town. I’m trying to target these newcomers to let them know of our 4 weeks free special and $250 gift card specific for them as a preferred employer special.

*Reach out to HR/benefits as well and offer to provide breakfast or lunch in exchange for 10 minutes of speaking time at their next open enrollment meeting. This is a time when benefits are being discussed and you can sell yourself as an added benefit.
*deliver donuts or milkshakes or whatever to a different department each week and leave a flyer. I used to deliver blizzards and they LOVED them!!
I have a resident requesting an accommodation due to disability to be present while scheduled maintenance is performed. She claims it is discrimination if we do not accommodate this.
