As leasing season kicks into high gear, property management teams are feeling the pressure — and for good reason. Spring marks the beginning of increased foot traffic, move-ins, renewals, and turnarounds. And with that comes a shift in staffing needs across multifamily communities.

Here’s what we’re seeing so far this spring — and how properties can stay ahead with smart staffing moves:

1. Leasing Roles Are in High Demand

Spring brings an increase in prospects scheduling tours and new residents signing leases, and properties are ramping up their front office presence. Temporary and temp-to-perm leasing consultants are some of the most requested roles right now, especially in communities preparing for summer move-ins and student turn.

Helpful tip: If you haven’t evaluated your front office coverage lately, now’s the time. Don’t wait until traffic peaks to realize you’re understaffed – We can help your community handle leasing season needs today!

2. Turnover Support Is Essential

Spring turnover is real, from both residents and staff. Whether it’s maintenance team members moving on or assistant managers transitioning to other roles, we’re seeing a seasonal increase in staffing gaps.

Properties that plan ahead with reliable staffing support are handling transitions more smoothly and avoiding burnout for their core team.

3. Maintenance Matters More Than Ever

As the weather warms up, so do service requests. From landscaping to AC prep, your maintenance team is about to get busy. Communities are leaning into additional techs and make-ready staff to keep up with demand, especially ahead of summer occupancy shifts.

4. Flexibility Is the Name of the Game

Many properties are leaning on flexible staffing models more than ever — whether that’s part-time leasing help on weekends, on-call coverage for call-outs, or short-term support during major property events.

The goal? To meet the demands of the season without overextending the core team or compromising resident experience.
