If you work as a property manager and received a lodging credit as part of your salary, you need to immediately contact a lawyer to see if you are entitled to compensation for unpaid wages.
If you make more than minimum wage, the law limits what a landlord/employer can charge an onsite employee for rent and deduct from wages to account for the value of the unit. The maximum monthly rent that can be charged to a resident manager is 2/3 the value to the general public.
If the rental value is used to meet the minimum wage requirement or is a used as a credit against wages, the amount is limited to the “lodging credit” determined by the DIR. Below is the maximum "lodging credit" that can be used to meet minimum wage for onsite property manager in 2023
- Room occupied alone: $72.88 / week
- Room shared: $60.16 /week
- Apartment – two thirds (2/3) of the ordinary rental value, and in no event more than: $875.33 /month
- Where a couple are both employed by the employer, two-thirds (2/3) of the ordinary rental value, and in no event more than: $1294.83 /month
