Once again, our leading multifamily industry expert, Patti Widget, the founder of Widget’s Way again, joins us for another amazing presentation that will help YOU to learn the latest property management strategies and to better understand the regulations so that you may continue to thrive in this business of rental housing. During this webinar, Patti will go over many of the situations learned through personal experience of what seemingly appeared as a good idea, then failed, how the situation was fixed and the lessons learned in the process.

As a rental housing provider, it is essential to understand local ordinances and regulations in place to protect property owners, and also the protections provided to renters. Understanding the laws in place can help local housing providers to navigate the daunting process of eviction. Understanding the steps in the eviction or, as it is often also referred to as, the unlawful detainer process, can help you avoid stress, save valuable time and legal costs, and help you to recover your rental unit.

WEBINAR DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE:

• Understanding when there are legal grounds to evict a tenant.

• When and how to legally serve the tenant with appropriate notice.

• When the notice served expires, and what to do next.

• When to consult with legal counsel to ensure legal documents are filed with the court, and when / how to serve your tenant.
• What to expect when you go to court and how to prepare. Avoid costly mistakes!
• When and why to accept or not accept rent when a tenant violates the lease.
