Update: Don't Let Yourself Be Exposed to Liability - Cover Your "Ass-ets"

An Important and Entertaining Presentation by Property Management Expert, Patti Widget of Widget's Way

Fair housing, discrimination, anti-tenant harassment, habitability, among other things, are regulations that can expose you to legal liability. If you have ever found yourself bothered by something your tenant is doing or requesting, but not sure how to respond without risking a lawsuit or being reported to the housing department, this is the webinar for you. Don't ever be in a situation where you try to address a problem that only makes matters worse. This webinar will give YOU the professional advice you need to avoid legal exposure in any situation.

Property management expert, Patti Widget from Widget's Way, will provide you with the advice you need to help keep you from getting yourself into trouble. Learn how you can work smarter and not harder. Managing rental properties today has become far too complicated and if you say or do something incorrectly, things might get costly.

If you receive a letter from your tenant's attorney, do you respond? When your tenant asks you for accommodation such as installing a grab bar — what do you say? Do you email or text to communicate with your tenants? If there's a habitability issue at the property, should you provide your tenant with a hotel while the repairs are being made? If you want to learn the answers to these and so many other questions, then this is the seminar for YOU. You absolutely must attend!

Our leading multifamily industry expert, Patti Widget, 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 it. Join us for what will most certainly be an informative online seminar via ZOOM.

During the webinar, we will also cover the following:

• Learn how to improve your tenant-screening process and rent to only top-quality residents that are certain to pay their rent and pay on time.
• Hear about the real-life situations Patti has dealt with and how to steer clear of problems before they cost you dearly.
• Fair housing questions you will get, and how to address them.
• Watch the tone and communication style between YOU and your tenants. Keep it "business."
• Take a deep breath before responding... How to refrain from acting on your emotions, even if you know you are right.
• Learn Patti's foolproof "fogging" technique! It will help you steer clear of problems all the time.
• Go beyond the tenant screening report. Tenant screening tips that are fast and simple, and that will avoid the problem tenant. Learn what to look for and why on Google, such as tenant's phone number given as their employer and much more.
• And wait — there's always so much more. YOUR questions will help lead the discussion. ASK Patti anything — she will address your questions for one full hour!
