Nothing is more frustrating than being caught in a situation that places you in an adverse position to that of your tenant. Often, situations like these can be frustrating, a big waste of time, and can cost you a lot of money.

As a landlord, you are no stranger to the responsibilities you have to manage seemingly all at once. In fact, you probably already know that if you do not handle issues in a timely and proper manner, you might find yourself stressed out, facing financial trouble, or dealing with a lawsuit. So, it is crucial for you to both prevent potential issues and fix them once they have occurred. Our leading multifamily industry expert, Patti Widget, now an operation advisor at AAGLA and also the founder of Widget’s Way, joins us for another amazing presentation that will help YOU to survive and overcome the current crisis and help YOU to successfully transition out of whatever current crisis you find yourself in.  PLEASE, join us for what will most certainly be an informative online seminar via ZOOM. 

During the webinar, we will also cover the following:

• Dealing with and avoiding costly legal troubles. Don’t be exposed to liability by what you say or do.

• How to best deal with difficult tenant situations.  Never let yourself be caught off guard with Patti’s “fogging” technique.
• Damages versus normal wear and tear – know the difference.
• Checking out credit and criminal history – proper methods for screening tenant applicants. Know the signs of a future problem tenant.
