Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to understand the terms of your written rental agreement, and when to use certain addendums and notices. This webinar will go into detail to give YOU the basic understanding you need to know when it comes to your rental agreement and will cover many of the common addendums and notices you will need to protect yourself.. Our property management expert, Patti Widget, Founder of Widget’s Way, will lead an in-depth discussion and show you the “path” to a “solid” lease agreement.

Lease agreements today have become far too complicated for merely the faint of heart....

• Have you ever forgotten to include a lease provision or an addendum that has created a problem for you down the road due to your tenant bringing in pets, putting up signs, or storing items in common areas?.
• Have you ever improperly given a notice only to go back to “square one” in your unlawful detainer case?.
• Are you concerned about protecting yourself?. 

IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ANY OF THE QUESTIONS…THEN THIS IS DEFINITELY THE ONLINE SEMINAR FOR YOU.

Leading multifamily expert, Patti Widget, the founder of Widget’s Way again, joins us for an amazing presentation that will help YOU improve your N.O.I., quickly fill your vacancies, and help YOU to succeed during today’s “new normal.”. 

Join us for a live discussion and a “deep-dive” into the world of lease agreements. Learn about the important, common provisions you should have in your lease agreements and make sure you do not leave out important addendums. Make sure you follow law and are receiving the MAXIMUM protections legally available to you!

During the webinar, we will also cover the following:

• “Ins” or “outs” of your lease? What’s legal and what isn’t.
• What addendums need to be added to your standard lease agreement?
• How should you serve your notices? How can you avoid problems in court?
• What are you missing in our lease “package?”
• Are hand-written notations on a lease document legal?
• And, so much more. YOUR questions will help lead the discussion.

This will be a live, interactive, online learning session. Live Q&A will take place throughout the online seminar. Please join us for what will surely be an extremely informative and entertaining presentation by Patti Widget.
