  • Inspect and document property conditions when on-site.

  • Perform minor maintenance tasks (e.g. light bulb changes, restocking supplies, seasonal tasks like applying salt or light shovelling).

  • Report supply shortages or repair needs promptly.

  • Provide backup coverage for urgent cleans or same-day turnovers.

Accountabilities
