Definition:

A super is someone who maintains the apartment building. The super cleans the common areas and makes repairs in the tenants' apartments, usually in exchange for living in one of the units for free. Many supers and their family live in the apartment they take care of.

As a polite tenant, it's courteous to give the super a gift at the end of the year, such as money.
