Jordann has chaired the 5K4Rent, the Membership Committee, serves on the Holiday Cheers commit tee, and has recently accepted chairing our 2023 Awards Program. Five characteristics of servant leadership are: valuing people, hu mility, listening, trust, and caring.

DE&I The newly formed DE&I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)committee with in the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association (GCNKAA) set out with the goal to model inclusion and embrace diverse backgrounds and perspec tives of those with whom we work and exist to serve. The committee understood that this topic can seem scary to approach for some - especially those who have very little information about it. From that thought, our DE&I Panel on Sharing Perspectives was born. Come one and come all as these panelists will discuss DE&I from the ground level to the top, from the primary member to the associate member. All of these discussions will conclude with a Q&A session where no question is off-limits. This event is completely free! This session will provide you with information on the importance of ally ship and leadership in the workplace and give you unfiltered access to ask the questions you have regarding DE&I to a group of panelists submersed in the multi-family industry and the topic of DE&I. This event is CEC qualified and will count for 2 CECs! Join us after the event for a free happy hour!

The amendment would have to be approved by Cincinnati vot ers and could be placed on the ballot by Cincinnati City Council or though a peti tion drive, which could occur in 2023.

The Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association is a professional organization. Its staff and leadership take great pride in our ability to offer benefits, services, and network ing opportunities that assist those whom work in multifamily housing. It is, however, unfortunate that both staff members and key members of our leadership have received complaints re garding - or have personally witnessed - inappropriate behavior at recent events. These issues were thor oughly discussed at the August Associate Council meeting as well as the GCNKAA Board of Directors meeting. The overall consensus is that, while we want our members to
We do hope some of this inappro priate behavior was related to pent-up energy from the effects of COVID19 protocols and as we continue to ‘return to normal,’ these episodes will discon tinue. In the meantime, the board of directors and associate council have made the recommendation that any egregious violation of GCNKAA policies - or any policies of any facility we contract with for our events - will result in not being invited to any additional events.

Booth cancellations received after November 1, 2022, and prior to February 14, 2023, will be issued a refund minus a $100 administrative fee.

Only companies or individuals that have contracted directly with GCNKAA shall be allowed on the show floor as an Exhibitor. Failure to comply with this provision shall be sufficient cause for GCNKAA to require the imme diate removal of the exhibit and/or the offending Exhibitor at the expense of the Exhibitor.

We are grateful for the opportunity to spend time with these wise individuals and hopefully brighten their day. We are going to host one more senior event before the holidays. Stay tuned for more details! Our backpack and school supply drive was a monumental suc cess, delivering $15,000 worth of school supplies and backpacks to FOUR schools during the first week in August! Special THANK YOU to Susan Peck who organized this entire event. What a success! Year-to-date, our AAO Board has approved $86,000 in Rent As sistance payments and $60,000 to our Food Pantry partners through the end of August. We are exceptionally proud to contribute to those in need and to be able to partner with these organizations that work tirelessly to help others. These donations help fund more than 20 food pantries and four key social service partners for rental assistance: the FreeStore Food Bank, Jewish Family Service, CAIN, and Santa Maria Community Services. The work these organizations do to assist those in need is astounding.
Lastly, we are looking forward to our Champions for Outreach partners to continue their contribution for 2022 and 2023. This ex ceptional program that began in 2021 is what allowed our board to financially contribute to so many wonderful partners that serve needs within our community such as: rent assistance, food pantries, senior communities, and much more! To date, we have received more than $250,000 of our pledged funds! Wow! Without the Champions’ sup port, we could not continue to serve our community in the capacity we are able. On behalf of our board, we are exceptionally grateful.

We would like to thank our entire membership and our Champions for Outreach sponsors for your continued financial support of Outreach and our efforts to help those in our community who deserve our assistance.

40 SEPTEMBER 2022 8 Is everyone ready for football season? I am so excited to cheer on our beloved home town team, as well as kick butt in my two fantasy leagues! In total transparency, this is my first year ever doing a fantasy football team and I decided to do two, not just onehaha! I am excited and looking forward to the comradery with family and coworkers. And for those of us with kiddos, I can speak for myself - with a sigh of relief - to be back in a routine and a sense of normalcy. Here’s to a great school year for all!
We have been busy at the Apartment Association Outreach (AAO) division for the past few months. We had more volunteer events at Childhood Food Solutions helping to bag lunches for an area in need. Our next event will be on September 21 if anyone is looking to volunteer! It is always rewarding to see so many hands working together to make light work for those we serve. In addition, we hosted a senior event on August 12 at Riverview Bluffs, a MVAH Partners community. It is always such a pleasure to serve the elderly community as they suffered so much during the height of COVID

THE EVOLUTION OF PET POLICIES POST-PANDEMIC
“We hear from residents, ‘If you didn’t accept pets, I wouldn’t live here,’” says Alison Mack, Manager of Marketing and Property Development, Drucker + Falk (D+F). Studies show that pets enhance wellness and people’s en joyment of their home, adds Brian Hawthrone, Vice President, Operations at Cardinal Group Management. “So we make our policy as compassionate as possible so residents who wish to have a pet can have one without financial burden or unreasonable rules and regulations.”Petpolicies have evolved as pet ownership has grown and ppgpaints.com
The rental housing industry contin ues to balance attracting and retaining animal-loving residents with keeping the peace and mitigating potential problems. Think your rental community’s gone to the dogs, cats and birds? You’re right.
THE APPLICATION PROCESS
About two-thirds of U.S. households have at least one pet, and that holds true for rental housing residents, according to Apartments.com. And since March 2020, 12.6% of households have added a pet. Welcoming pets has become a major selling point for apartment communities.
Trend Setting
This heading contains information on Management & Leasing. laws have adapted. The rental housing in dustry is balancing how to attract and re tain animal-loving residents, on one hand, and how to keep the peace and mitigate po tential damage (and damages) on the other.
Applying to live at a community is a resident’s first exposure to a community’s pet policy—if it’s presented with the lease materials.Since early 2020, Asset Living has utilized a third-party platform to standard ize the process, capture unauthorized pets and collect potentially lost revenue for management clients in 40 states. Plus, the platform “is easier because it doesn’t feel person al,” says Stacey Lecocke, Executive Vice President of Operations, who oversees Asset Living’s student housing division. Applicants using the tool categorize themselves as having a pet, no pet or an assistance animal. Those with no pet are logged as such on their ledger and work orders. Data that applicants enter on one or more pets results in a score that “may mean varying fees and deposits based on risk” specific

DEADLINE TO APPLY IS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2022.
ELECTIONS WILL BE HELD ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2022 to the animal, Lecocke says. For service animals and emotional support animals—for which no fees are charged—the tool requires proper legal documentation (including a proper prescription). If the platform finds the request invalid, the animal is declared a pet, and standard procedures apply. Pet owners pay about $20 a year for the process, gaining a certification usable at grooming stores and elsewhere. Asset Living gains, too, because the process is a financial plus with ownership groups.
“The first year, we had six instances in a 400-unit community,” says Mack, adding that often the culprit was a child, dog walker or babysitter, not the owner of record. Word of mouth has kept inci dents to near zero since.
RULES AND RESTRICTIONS
MITIGATING ISSUES
No company wants to be the subject of recent headlines such as “Pet alligator dies in Claymont apartment fire” and “A 425-Pound Tiger Living in a Harlem Apartment? Yes, It Happened.” Such oc currences are rare, but an equitable pet policy can help prevent them.Being pet friendly—from hosting yappy hours and pet cos tume parties to offering cat and dog treats in the rental office—can encourage a sense of openness and trust that leads to community harmony and less hiding of animals (exotic or otherwise).
“Pets can increase mood and happiness, and we want our residents to be happy,” says Amanda Rast, Asset Living’s Vice President of Communications. “We want to keep them safe, too. There’s a balance.”
If a petless resident tries to adopt, “the SPCA will reach out to the community first to be sure it’s okay,” says Mack. Otherwise, most new pet owners happily bring their Fido or Fluffy by the man agement office for a coo and registration. The most common way unregistered pets are discovered is during maintenance visits. If a resident is recorded as petless and a nose pops out from under the bed, the resident may be warned or fined.
STAYING RELEVANT
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS: OPERATIONAL RESOURCES
D+F sends a congratulatory note on “your new family mem ber” and an invitation to catch up on paperwork. (The pet policy is an addendum to the lease, so everyone signs it upon moving in, says Naturally,Mack.) policies insist that owners pick up after pets. Not everyone does, though, which leads to unhealthy, unsafe and unat tractive common areas. Third-party providers like the one that is used at many D+F properties can be leveraged to connect uncol lected dog waste to a (ir)responsible human. Upon enrolling the dog with the property, the owner swabs the dog’s cheek to add its DNA to the provider’s database. If waste is found, staff sends a sample to the company, receives an ID and fines the owner $50 to $350. If there’s a second offense, staff may ask the owner to remove the dog.
Ellen Ryan is a freelance writer.
Because laws and norms change, regular updating is necessary. Asset Living reviews its policy at least quarterly, Cardinal Group at least twice yearly. D+F doesn’t review on a schedule, but being active in all associations in the states where it’s located, it keeps up on legislative news and makes changes accordingly.
Pets in multifamily housing are nearly always limited by type, breed, weight, number and so on. Certain dog breeds are consid ered aggressive—“they may or may not be, but insurance sees it that way,” says Mack—and weight is a stand-in for potential noise on upper floors. Noting that many animals do better in pairs, the Humane Society of the U.S. recommends not restricting residents to one pet. Cardinal Group allows two total from among cats, dogs, fish and birds. D+F likewise refuses “exotic” animals, though certain snakes, amphibians and reptiles are allowed (one per unit). Where pets can be outside the residential unit varies. At D+F properties, pets are forbidden at the pool, fitness center and laun dry room and need to be leashed outdoors. Cardinal Group allows leashed animals “pretty much everywhere on the property” except at the pool area or gym, says Hawthorne; “for the most part, people are pretty understanding” in case of conflict and simply separate the parties.TheHumane Society offers a sample pet policy that includes several notable restrictions: Pets shall not be kept, bred or used for any commercial purpose; cats, dogs, rabbits and ferrets must be spayed or neutered; pets must not roam free or be tethered; cat litter may not go down toilets; pet bedding, toys, etc. must be laundered in pet-only washers and dryers (if applicable).

4. LAVISH VS. LUXURY
2. PICTURE YOUR PERSONA
Different demographics can react differently to color choice, interior finishes, amenities, apartment logos, taglines and online presence. Whether you’re targeting young professionals with an active social life, college students wanting out of the dorms, new families with young children or active adults facing an empty nest — each is looking for something different out of renting and will therefore be attracted to different brand elements.
Without cohesion in all aspects of a multifamily development, a brand’s identity can be muddied. Before construction begins, de velopers and owners have determined the property’s identity, their target audience and their ideal brand perception. Since the brand has therefore been established well before development starts, all teams in the process should be on the same page. Architects and interior designers should fully understand how the building itself can support the identity, tone and ideal resident.
Modern-day renters want their living space to feel as much like home as homeowners do. Now that so many residents are 1-800-837-3200
1. GET ON THE SAME PAGE
5. START STANDING OUT With the vast amount of multifamily properties popping up in urban cores and suburban destinations, it’s becoming much harder to differentiate. By creating a cohesive multifamily brand from the beginning and bringing it to life in new ways through development and design, you will be well positioned to make a powerful impact to the community and surrounding neighborhood.
Graphic designers on the project should be able to iterate the concept through print and online presence in a way that will stand the test of time. It’s important that from the beginning, the prop erty is being built to support what the brand stands for. A strong multifamily brand should connect from the exterior into the interi ors and finishes, all the way to its online presence.
When it comes to luxury apartment communities, establishing a strong brand identity is crucial. With so many high-end develop ments hitting the market, it’s important to set apart the individual ity of each. However, the challenge many properties face is finding the balance between overtly lavish and approachably luxurious. To avoid coming across pretentious, it is helpful to bring in a per sonal, artistic touch to the brand, or steer in the direction of classic, timeless and relaxed.

8 APARTMENT ADVANTAGE 45 renting by choice, there are new ways to stand out as a multifamily property aside from location, amenities, and price. How do you connect emotionally to your resident through a brand? Bring your property’s personality to life through the brand voice — make your mission to create experiences rather than fill units. Look at why residents are choosing to rent and where they are in their life stage, and work to address their emotional needs.
How can you ensure your branding meets the demands of the multifamily housing marketplace? Why is multifamily branding so important? The term “brand” has evolved over the years, and in today’s highly competitive world, brand simply refers to the way the public perceives your entity. People have brands, businesses have brands, properties have brands — whether they’re carefully crafted or not. This can be factual perceptions (it’s an apartment building in downtown Chicago) or emotional ones (it’s vibrant, romantic or trustworthy).
BUILDING A BETTER MULTIFAMILY BRAND FROM THE GROUND UP
For example, luxury high-rise LVL 29 in Plano, Texas’s Legacy West established its brand direction and personality well before the groundbreaking. LVL 29 was built to bring a new es sence and standard to living, one that carries clear tones of sophis tication and timelessness through sleek and modern elements.
3. CONNECT EMOTIONALLY
Before diving deep into the multifamily branding process, it’s important to have a clear persona that will drive the direction and style from construction to online conversions. A persona is a semifictionalized character based on the interests, lifestyle and person ality of your ideal residents. Understanding your persona inside and out will allow all aspects of the brand to connect and resonate with your target audience.
When applying this concept to the multifamily market, prop erties must aim to guide the perception of their brand so it isn’t determined solely by their audience. In such a dense multifamily market, strategic branding is more important than ever. Branding matters before a brick is ever laid. So how can you ensure your branding meets the demands of the market?
During the 2022 Apartmentalize session, “A Smart Home Trilogy to Optimize Operations and Teams,” industry experts dis cussed the ways those three smart home technologies have em powered teams, maintained occupancy and built ROI.
Smart locks, thermostats and leak detection sensors comple ment the functionality of one another to a degree that amplifies the individual value of each. Working together, they optimize selfservice touring functionality, improve HVAC and energy conser vation, and enhance overall asset protection.

Smart thermostats enable residents and management teams alike to optimize energy consumption. Operators can program thermostat settings on vacant homes for optimal energy use and create temporary settings during scheduled tours to preferred cli mate conditions. They can do the same for offices, common ar eas and amenity spaces during off hours to create a more efficient overall community. Leak detection technologies generate alerts at the first sign of water intrusion, limiting or preventing costly repairs. Considering the average water leak costs $1,800 just for repairs – not factoring in the cost of resident displacement and temporary relocation, rent loss or concessions – the cost prevention capabilities of leak detec tion systems are tremendous.
Smart home technology is revolutionizing how renters live and how operators conduct business. While each smart home solu tion has its own intrinsic benefits, operators are seeing exponential returns when they implement a select trio of products together.

A SMART HOME TRILOGY TO OPTIMIZE OPERATIONS AND TEAMS
46 SEPTEMBER 2022 8
While the term “smart home” indicates an ability to work in dependently, it is the collective potential of fully integrated locks, thermostats and leak detection that is changing multifamily. Smart home solutions must fully integrate with one another and property management systems, but they also must play nicely with associ ates and Bevanresidents.White, Director of Marketing for RAM Partners, said his company requires full access to their tech partners’ support teams during initial implementation. “We have our partners walk us through how to talk about the product with residents and how to best show residents how to use it,” White said. After being fully immersed in a strategically deployed smart home environment, residents and team members alike won’t settle for anything less, driving both resident and employee retention, along with occupancy and NOI. The result is a boost property per formance and asset value at the point of sale, delivering measur able ROI at all levels of the property lifecycle.
“When you bring that all together, this is the new standard that you’re seeing in the industry,” said SmartRent Chief Operating Officer Demetrios Barnes. “What we’re learning is that in some markets, this is a requirement. If you’re not there yet, it’s time. It’s not just about the rent lift anymore; it’s all of that additional savings.”From a value proposition standpoint, all three smart home products stand solidly on their own.
By Doug Pike
In addition to sheer convenience for residents, smart locks are tremendous time savers for property teams. Instead of physi cally providing access to guests, vendors, maintenance teams and residents who forgot their key codes, associates can remotely pro vide access. Smart access control systems also enable operators to customize self-guided touring experiences by granting prospects temporary access to certain areas of the community.
