· Draft and send notices, settlement offers, and other resident communications.
· Propose payment terms and negotiate resolution plans when appropriate.
· Generate regular reporting on collections performance, account aging, legal status, and resolution rates.
· Review and refine internal collections processes to ensure efficiency, consistency, and legal compliance.
· Stay current on local and federal regulations related to debt collection and fair housing practices.
Position Requirements
