As a housing provider, you face constant attacks. You likely already know that if you do not address issues timely and properly, you not only will find yourself stressed out, but you may face financial trouble, or forced into dealing with a lawsuit. Its crucial for you to both prevent potential issues and fix them once they have occurred.

  • Act now…the importance of ongoing maintenance and addressing issues that arise as soon as possible.
  • Dealing with and addressing difficult tenant situations.  Never be caught off guard by using Patti’s “fogging” technique.
