This is my second full week of working at Town Centre. I am still learning a lot of different things in dealing with property management. Things such as why we must do certain things when people apply to background check them. Such as memo ID’s, get pay stubs from there employers or even tax return information. This week was a lot of learning the specific situations property managers deal with on a day-to-day basis. Like how we were not part of fair housing or section 8 housing or that you can only put 2 people per bedroom.
