Experience
Assistant Property Manager, Dallas Housing Authority, Dallas, TX Jan.2008-Feb.2016
I acted as a supervisor of a public housing property with Dallas Housing Authority. I worked
closely with maintenance staff and implemented a preventative maintenance program for
all systems and structures at the property. I worked closely with the Intake and
Placement department to re-lease vacant ready units as quickly as possible. Administered
an annual operating budget for the property was an essential part of my position. My
position required for me to track monthly rent and charges in addition to rent collected at
the property. I worked with onsite and remote service providers to support the social
needs or opportunity for growth for residents. I also prepared paperwork for lease
terminations and attended court on nonpayment lease termination cases. Enforcing the
DHA lease against residents who violate it and preparing paperwork for “cause” evictions
and forwarding paperwork to the DHA Legal Office was a very imperative role. I showed
and leased units to prospective residents, including orientation at the time of lease
signing, managing resident move-in, move-out, transfers and eviction proceedings.
Resolving tenant complaints was another important daily task. I walked the grounds and
buildings at least daily to assure they were kept in a safe, sanitary, and decent manner.
Coordinating with the Dallas Police and security officers on property and updating incident
reports was very significant to keep the property crime rate at a minimum. I also
scheduled and completed annual and housekeeping inspections to assure units have been
properly made ready and occupancy is maintained to DHA standards. I also prepared
properties for HUD REAC annual inspections. I performed clerical and administrative
duties including data entry, prepared and processed various documents and maintained
confidential files.
