Establishing resident policies often feels like a walking a tightrope.

On the other hand, research shows that today’s tenants want more autonomy when it comes to decorating and creating personal spaces that fit their lifestyle and decorating preferences.
We live in a mobile environment. Not a digitally mobile environment, but a physically mobile environment.

These traveling professionals create opportunities for property managers that are hard to ignore – high salaries, generous rent reimbursements and often, corporate contracts.
