    Waltham & Statewide Virtual Meeting Wed September 2: Multifamilies and Single Families Sold: Market Update Discussion

    4:10 PM-6:00 PM
    09/02/2020

    We’ll start this event by reviewing sales data for multifamily and single family buildings by select regions and across the state:

    • How many listings have there been compared to this time last year?
    • How many days does an average listing stay on the market?
    • How many days does it take to get an offer?
    • What’s the sales to list price ratio?

    We’ll then have a round table discussion about the trends driving the market and what you may be seeing yourself.
    Are multifamilies selling even with nonpayment issues? What’s the impact
    of the eviction moratorium? Are single families in greater demand because people fled urban cores?

    Attendees are welcome to share their own experiences. Participation is not required, you’re welcome to come and just listen.

    Marlborough Virtual Meeting Tue September 8: Legislative Update

    7:00 PM-8:00 PM
    09/08/2020

    Our September meeting is going to be another zoom conference call. We will be discussing the policy landscape, including active and ongoing concerns with rent control, rent cancellation, right of first refusal (TOPA), right to counsel, and eviction sealing. We will formally review the significance of each proposal, with reference to selected portions of current bill text. There will be lots of opportunity to ask questions. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how best to help advocate against these proposals and what MassLandlords’ alternatives are.

    This presentation will be given by MassLandlords Executive Director, Douglas Quattrochi. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association’s first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 1,900 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

    Worcester & Statewide Virtual Meeting Wed Sep 9: Review of the State Sanitary Code

    4:00 PM-6:00 PM
    09/09/2020

    Unlike the building code, which is usually inspected only at time of permit completion,
    the state sanitary code applies in all rentals all the time, and can be inspected at any time. Are your units compliant?

    Few units are fully compliant. We’ll review the code in easy-to-understand detail and help you get a sense of where you may need to make repairs or improvements.

    sanitary code
    Your problem or theirs? The state sanitary code holds occupants responsible for some things, and landlords responsible for most everything else

    This segment will be presentation-style with MassLandlords staff.

    Springfield & Statewide Virtual Meeting Thu September 10: Eviction Moratorium Individual Claims Council

    4:10 PM-6:10 PM
    09/10/2020

    During the pandemic stay-at-home order, people needed to have a home to stay in. And during the medical and economic recovery that lies ahead,
    the Commonwealth’s residents may need this housing for a long while yet to come.
    We have said from the beginning that this shared burden should be covered by the Commonwealth as a whole. No one should be evicted
    because of the pandemic or its aftermath.
    No housing provider should be asked to provide this needed public housing for free, to pay for
    upcoming months or years of repairs, real estate taxes, utilities, and mortgages without income.

    The eviction moratorium is a Band-Aid, but stitches are required.
    We have developed and found funding for a Fair and Equal Housing Guarantee via Surety Bonds, but
    none in leadership have agreed to file it. We have asked the Governor not to extend the moratorium, but he
    has extended it to October and may extend it again after that. The amount of rent relief so far organized from federal, state, and municipal sources
    seems to be adding up to less than 10% of the funding that will be required by the time we get through this.

    We now turn to the courts to make it clear, on a case-by-case basis, how much damage has been done. We are not launching an assault
    on the constitutionality of the moratorium. At this event,
    we will announce the Individual Claims Council, a network of attorneys
    who are now collaborating and available to help landlords make individual claims against the Commonwealth. The purpose is not to evict
    anyone.
    The purpose is to obtain the reasonable compensation to which we are now
    entitled as providers of public housing during a pandemic, and to eliminate our renter’s unpaid obligations by court ordered
    public subsidy. Together the Commonwealth can keep us all housed.

    This initiative will run in parallel to our continued advocacy for a Fair and Equal Housing Guarantee via Surety Bonds.

    This part of the presentation will be given by Peter Vickery of Bobrowski
    & Vickery, LLC. Attorney Vickery practices law in Western Massachusetts where he focuses on landlord-tenant law
    (representing landlords in Housing Court) and discrimination defense (representing business owners in the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination).
    He graduated from Oxford University (Jesus College) with a BA in Modern History; obtained his Post-Graduate Diploma in Law from the University of the
    West of England in Bristol; his JD from Boston University School of Law; and his Masters in Public Policy & Administration from the University of Massachusetts,
    Amherst. Attorney Vickery served one term on the Governor’s Council (the elected 8-member body that approves or vetoes the governor’s choice of judges in Massachusetts) and on the State Ballot Law Commission. As Legislative Affairs Counsel for MassLandlords he drafts bills, bill summaries, and testimony in the area of housing law,
    and writes amicus briefs in cases that have strategic significance for rental-property owners.
