Is your rental unit ready to be marketed? Do you know how to determine a competitive market rent?

Most landlords don't realize how volatile market rent rates are. There are no appraisals and there isn't a database like the MLS like when buying/selling property.

• Habitability
• maintenance
• Upgrades
• Pictures
• Marketing

During this class we will cover HB 2001 that changed the requirements for non-payment of rent termination notices and extended the FED eviction hearing scheduling timeline. It also established housing inventory reporting requirements for the state and local cities / areas and created minimum standards to meet the growing housing development needs around the state.

Obviously all landlords need to know the details of this law as it pertains to changes to non-payment terminations. It is also important for builders / developers and real estate agents to understand the housing needs reporting and requirements as it may help you determine where to plan your next development project as there may be some financial incentives to build rental units in areas that aren't meeting the housing inventory requirements.
