Words can mean everything, particularly in today's environment. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where poor word choices have exposed you to frivolous lawsuits? Sadly, frivolous legal claims have become all too common, especially in states like California where tenant protections can be misused. Whether it's a slip of the tongue or a misstep in communication, housing providers need to be vigilant in how they interact with tenants to avoid costly litigation.

Join our expert Patti Widget from Widget's Way, as she offers guidance on how to use better word choices and avoid common communication pitfalls that may open the door to legal exposure. If you've ever received a letter from a tenant’s attorney or faced ambiguous requests for accommodations, you’ll want to attend this session. This live, interactive session will help you work smarter, not harder, and protect your business from unnecessary legal challenges.

During the webinar, we will also cover the following:

• Real-life scenarios that can lead to litigation – and how to avoid them
• Common fair housing traps and how to navigate them
• Why your tone and communication style matters
• How to pause before responding emotionally – even when you’re right
• Learn Patti’s foolproof “fogging” technique to keep yourself out of trouble
• And much more – including answers to YOUR live questions!

This will be a live, interactive Zoom session with live Q&A throughout. If you have any questions, please contact Events Manager Diana Alcaraz via email at diana@aagla.org.
