By Chris Schreiner

The SNMA brings more and more to its members every year since I have been involved with the organization. Community outreach, education, legislative, informa-tion and membership committees have all grown tre-

mendously and done more for the SNMA and the industry with each new year.

With the start of 2008, we have done the same with the Apartment Insight magazine, with a new look and attitude, while still bringing its readers all the great information from the SNMA and others in the industry. The feedback I have received is positive and I am happy to hear so many are en-joying the magazine even more.

I want to thank all the committee representatives and board liaisons for consistently providing us with such great, infor-mative and relevant content. It is true that you never stop learning and the magazine, along with the website and other media are great avenues to disseminate industry information and trends. We can look to the magazine for fair housing pointers, legal information, changes in laws and statutes to name a few, as well as looking back on the great events like the golf and bowling tournaments, Membership Olympics, community events, dinners, lunches and other good times.

We on the magazine committee are always anxious to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Praise is always fun to hear, but if you have features you would like to see more of, or cer-tain items you believe would be beneficial that are currently absent from the magazine content, please let us know. The magazine is a resource for the SNMA and we want it to be the best it can be.

Feel free to send suggestions, comments, information and updates to me. We always want to keep track of where people are going, what they’re doing and the concerns of both the property management organizations and the vendor com-panies. We welcome announcements so we can recognize

the successes of our members and congratulate them on an accomplishment or a move within the industry.

You can reach me at [email protected], by phone at (702) 939-1494 or by fax at (702) 939-1551.

Thank you for your continued support of the magazine and keep reading!

Best Regards,

CHRIS SCHREINERMagazine Committee Chairman/Editor

MARCH APRIL 2008

I n these uncertain times, traffic and leasing activity are down, occupancies are down and competition is fierce in the rental industry. The Las Vegas market is being affected by not only the housing market, but the apparent lack of jobs and what

many are calling the verge of a recession. Houses are sitting unsold, furniture stores are closing everywhere and though there has recently been a slight increase in occupancy market wide, it just feels like people aren’t moving. What can we do?

One main component is to refocus. The pressure to get leads and to convert them to leases is tremendous. This usually means reduced rents, high concessions and increased expenses for flashy, colorful banners, A-frames, yard signs, balloons and the like. Other high costs like direct mailings, human directionals and fly-ers are also a regular part of trying to increase occupancy quickly. In all these efforts, there is one very important aspect that might get overlooked and that is resident retention. Remember, that if we keep the residents we have, it is less struggle to lease to a higher occupancy. We cannot direct all our attention to get-ting new residents if it means, by default, ignoring those we have. Of course, there will always be skips, and we hear of many more lately due to the job market. Those generally cannot be helped, but are we paying proper attention to those we still have? Do they know we appreciate them? Do you have a resident newsletter full

of positive things about your community? Do you have regular resident functions? Appreciation parties? Early bird payment contests? These simple and often inexpensive things can make a world of difference. We have to approach the situation with a double whammy of effort, in getting new residents and closing the back door to keep the ones we have.

Does your resident newsletter have property specific articles? I submit to you, that this is a great venue for you to point out things to keep them from moving. Work up a cost comparison to show them the true value of renting from an established apartment community with professional management. Compare the costs of moving into a rental home, townhouse or condo. Show them transfer fees for utilities, moving vans, deposits, application fees, cleaning fees and the like. Do their homework for them and they’ll realize, before giving you their notice to vacate, that maybe it’s not a better deal after all. Prompt them to ask questions like,

“In a rental home, do I pay trash, water and sewer?” “If my heat goes out, who will fix it and when?” “Do I have to care for the landscaping?” This will require some time and effort on your part, but it’s essential to know what you’re sell-ing against. Know thy enemy. You are competing against houses, townhomes

and condos that were likely renovated to be flipped, but did not sell, that are now being rented at what could be similar rates to yours, with a full range of updated amenities. If you’re a com-munity not getting rehab items like granite counters, stainless appliances and the like, it’s hard, but you can compete. Have you ever tried to keep stainless appliances clean? If those residents have kids, a house sounds appealing, but only if they really enjoy housework.

Knowledge is power. Is your leasing staff truly equipped with all the tools necessary to ef-fectively do their job? A lack of information could turn a strong lead for you into a signed lease elsewhere. Does everyone involved with leasing know all the schools your property is zoned for? What about the closest banks, stores, and areas of enter-tainment? If this info exists at all, it’s in a leasing binder with more dust on it than your high school yearbook. KNOW the information. Have your leasing agents driven around the neighborhood itself? So often, the drive to and from work for them becomes routine and they’re not actually familiar with the surrounding area. Everyone should know and learn every as-pect of their community. It’s your product and if you don’t know your product, how can you effectively convey its benefits to others? Apartment communities are not just f loorplans with a pool and a clubhouse. They are part of a neighbor-hood, so know it. Know your square footages, every feature and its benefit, all amenities inside the units and out and all that gives value. Whatever your rent structure, know why your apart-ments are worth that much every month to the residents. Once you know what gives your community its value, believe it. If you don’t, how can you convince someone else? You need not offer the sun, moon and stars to a resident to whom you have created value in his or her mind about your product.

How is your store? Your leasing office is your store. You are, in effect, in retail. Leasing agents are realtors with a terrific benefit. Many realtors when showing a home are seeing it for the first time. Your leasing agents have the advantage of knowing their product inside and out. That’s a blessing and a curse. It does create a certain tunnel-vision that needs to be put in check every

now and again. Routines develop easily. We come in, unlock the door, f lip the “closed” sign to “open” and start some coffee. How does our office look to someone coming in for the first time? How does it smell? Are there lights out? Are the desks a mess of papers from the evening prior? Is our “goodie” tray a mess of crumbs? Your door should not be opened to allow the public inside until you’re truly ready to welcome them in to a warm, bright and friendly office. The prospects see this before they ever see a model, so what kind of first impression is it creating? Just like a bad ad can unsell a product, a badly organized or “dirty” office can close their mind before they ever sit down at your desk.

A prospect should never be an interruption, but many times get the impression they are. Stand to greet them. Smile. Be proud of your product and you’ve already started closing before words

are ever spoken.

Like your store, your models should be your “closing areas.” How do they look and smell? If something is wrong with the office or the models and it turns off a prospective renter, a leasing agent has no one to blame but him or herself.

Anyone who puts the responsibility of a housekeeper or maintenance tech or porter

to make sure their product is “showable” is not interested in making that leasing commis-sion. Why would you not walk your tour path and models yourself before showing them to anyone else? Effective leasing agents know this and they are working at a property you’re

competing with for leases. Are you one of those effective leasing agents on top of your game, or are you deep within your routine? Being so doesn’t make anyone a failure or bad at their job. Every so often, we need perspective. Hopefully this can help with yours.

Preparation can make all the difference. Preparation is keeping the back door closed with renewals instead of notices to vacate. Preparation is knowledge. Knowledge of why your community

is the one to live in and what makes you, your company and your product great and why it’s far better than renting a home, townhouse or condo. Knowledge of your product and excite-ment for it, genuine excitement that can easily be expressed and conveyed to prospects. Preparation is inspection and physical readying of your store. Step back and look. How prepared is your property? If you’re prepared, the bumpiness of turbulence won’t be a thing to fear, but a motivating force that just makes the trip more exciting for you.

MARCH APRIL 2008

The Ides of March is March 15th and that date was a momentous one (albeit not a good one) for

Julius Caesar. The 13th of March, 1991 is a momentous day in fair housing, although it is not

the Ides of March (although in some months, such as April, the Ides are the 13th!) There now,

are you thoroughly confused? And what on earth does this have to do with fair housing?

Ready? The Fair Housing Amend-ments Act established protected-class status for people with handi-caps when it was signed into law by

President Ronald Reagan on September 13, 1988. This law went into effect 6 months later on March 12, 1989. One of the substantial provisions of this new act was the new-construction requirements (the fair housing accessibility guidelines). But since there were apartment communi-

must have certain design features, and the general property must have certain features as well.

Now the guidelines are extensive, confus-ing and conflicting (and voluminous in the telling), but in a nutshell here is what the guidelines require:

Buildings must have an accessible entrance on an accessible route.

Public and common use areas must be accessible and usable.

All doors designed for passage must be usable.

There must be an accessible route into and through a covered unit.

Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, and the other environ-mental controls in covered units must be in accessible location.

The tub, shower, and toilet areas in covered units must have reinforced walls should the resident want to have grab bars installed.

The bathrooms and kitchens of cov-ered units must be usable.

Unfortunately, testing and lawsuits have shown that as much as fifty per cent of new construction may have been built incorrectly. Even if you or your company were not the builder or developer of the community, you have liability for the “condition” of the apartments. And the day-to-day management and decision making as to the needs of your prospects or residents is often based on that impor-tant March 13, 1991 date. Let’s apply this to a real-world scenario and work through an analysis or f low chart, if you will, of what you need to think about.

A resident who must use a wheelchair advises you that one of the doorways in their unit just isn’t wide enough to easily accommodate that

by Nadeen Green

Fair Housing Focus:“BEWARE THE (ALMOST)

IDES OF MARCH”

ties in the process of actually being built, the “deadline” for these requirements was extended for 2 more years. Thus, the construction accessibility guidelines went into effect for certain units that were first occupied on or after March 13, 1991. Essentially the law says that as to multi-family housing (4 or more units), all ground floor and elevator accessible apartments (“covered units”) built for first occupancy on or after March 13, 1991,

Page 15: untitled

MARCH APRIL 2008

wheelchair (they can get through, but it is a struggle to get lined up just right and go through that doorway).

Question 1: When was this com-munity first occupied?

If your property received its certificate of occupancy before March 13, 1991, then you have no legal responsibility yourself as to that doorway (your property did not have to be built subject to the fair housing accessibility guidelines). However, if the resident would like to widen the doorway in a safe, sound and workmanlike man-ner, you must grant permission for that to happen at the resident’s cost. This is a reasonable modification. When the resident is ready to move out you cannot require the doorway to be made narrow again, as the modification does not affect the usability of the doorway for future residents.

If your property was first occupied on or after March 13, 1991, then the analysis must continue:

Question 2: Is the unit in question a “covered unit,” that is, one on the ground floor or accessible by elevator?

If it is not a covered unit, you have no responsibility, but again, you must allow the resident to make the modification if they so wish.

If it is a covered unit, then:

Question 3: How wide is the doorway? Does it meet the fair housing accessibility guidelines?

Now you will have to pull out a tape and measure that doorway, and then seek out a reference or source to determine whether that doorway was built correctly (wide enough to begin with).

If so, then again you have no further re-sponsibility but must allow the resident to modify.

If not, you have both an immediate and long range problem. The immediate problem is that making that modification to the doorway is now your responsibility. Do it! The long range problem is that your community may be in continuing viola-tion of the Fair Housing Act, and it may not just be a doorway that is problematic.

There may be a multitude of “sins” in your construction, and other landlords who have found themselves in a similar situation have paid as much as a million dollars in “retribution!” Your situation in such a case is way beyond the scope of the article.

The Ides of March proved to be an ill-fated date for Caesar; the almost-Ides of March 1991 may be ill-fated for the landlord who has a community that was not built in compliance with fair housing law. You owe it to your prospects, your residents and yourself to understand just where you stand as to this important matter. Beware!

MARCH APRIL 2008

The first SNMA gathering of 2008 was filled with events, part recognizing the efforts of 2007 and part inducting and looking to 2008. We began with the amended bylaws and voted to pass them, then

closed the membership meeting and moved on to open-ing the dinner meeting. Our Platinum Sponsors, For Rent Media Solutions, Certified Fire Protection, Western Risk Insurance, The Bentley Group, Sherwin Williams Floor Covering & Paint, and Cox Communications were recognized and CEDCO Inc. Landscape Maintenance joined them as a new sponsor for 2008.

We took time to thank each board member of the 2007 Board of Directors, with each receiving a plaque for their service to the SNMA.
