Are Building Attendants (Concierge) and Janitor's Apartment Mandatory in Apartments?
Obligation to employ janitors in apartments
There is no law regarding the obligation to have a janitor in apartments. The janitorial profession has become a line of business in parallel with the increasing number of apartments and buildings. Some apartment and site managers employ arbitrary janitors and pay low fees. This is where the law comes into play. If you want to work as a building attendant as a manager, you can not make a payment below the minimum wage, while covering all the benefits.
Those who do not employ building staff in apartments or do not need it can usually agree with cleaning companies and overcome this situation with a daily cleaning staff.
