We are looking for an Assistant Property Manager to support daily operations for residential communities in South Brunswick, New Jersey. This Long-term Contract position is ideal for a property management specialist with strong attention to detail who can balance leasing performance, regulatory compliance, resident support, and coordination with maintenance teams.

- Manage the full move-in workflow, including explaining eligibility guidelines, preparing lease documentation, coordinating application processing, and completing onboarding paperwork for new residents.
- Monitor vacancy levels closely and take timely action to help maintain targeted occupancy across assigned communities.
- Promote available units and support property presentation efforts by helping maintain strong curb appeal and effective outreach to prospective renters.
- Prepare leases, renewals, and annual income recertification packages for applicable housing programs while ensuring all deadlines are met.
- Guide residents through recertification steps when needed and maintain complete, accurate, and audit-ready files in both digital and paper formats.
- Coordinate with subsidy administrators, housing partners, and third-party payers to secure required approvals, rent portion notices, deposits, and initial rental payments.
- Partner with the Property Manager to address resident requests, transfer applications, accommodation matters, and overall day-to-day administration of the portfolio.
- Track maintenance activity, unit inspections, preventive service, and apartment turnover progress to help confirm work is completed within established timelines and safety expectations.
- Conduct routine property walks to identify issues affecting appearance, quality, or operations and escalate concerns that require follow-up.
