- Provide clarity and guidance to residents on policies, expectations, and procedures consistent with the Manitoba Residential Tenancies Act.

- Maintain compliant digital resident files throughout the resident lifecycle.
- Support re‑rental efforts and coordinate with Leasing and Marketing teams regarding upcoming vacancies.
- Maintain current lease templates, addendums, and notices in line with legislation.

- Review accounts receivable reports regularly with Resident Managers; assist in addressing outstanding balances, credit discrepancies, and documentation needs.
- Track monthly security deposit reconciliations, coordinating moveout charge confirmations and ensuring timely reporting and communication to residents.
Property Maintenance Administration
- Coordinate with the Maintenance Coordinator to ensure timely responses and resolution of open maintenance requests; flag aging or recurring issues for Property Manager’s review.
- Assist with seasonal and contract-based maintenance (snow removal, landscaping, HVAC) ensuring documents are complete, schedules are shared and vendors performance is monitored.
- Assist in organizing and documenting unit turnovers, confirming cleaning, repairs, and readiness for incoming residents.
- Participate in internal property inspections and support semi-annual unit inspections alongside the Property Manager or Resident Managers, including documentation and task follow-up.
General Administration
- Maintain accurate resident files, lease records, property documentation, and vendor information across Yardi, SharePoint, and other internal systems—ensuring compliance and audit readiness.
- Monitor adherence to the Manitoba Residential Tenancies Act and internal Paragon policies; escalate to management when required for review.
