Our January meeting will cover MassLandlords.net Benefits.
This presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director of MassLandlords. 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.

Each year Massachusetts has approximately 15,000 structure fires. The leading causes are factors owners and managers can help eliminate: electrical, smoking, cooking, heating, and plumber’s torches. Owners and managers who take a proactive approach to fire safety are doing the right thing for their residents, as well as lowering their financial risk and ongoing insurance costs.
This presentation will give an overview of how a residential fire can get started. We will review the particular challenges of multifamily residential dwellings. We will share practical things owners and managers can do to educate renters, upgrade our buildings, and prevent fires of all kinds.
This presentation is not our detailed presentation on fire code. This presentation is about fire prevention, general building guidance, and renter communication. We will provide an overview of where detectors are likely to be required.
We will also discuss Carbon Monoxide, an odorless and lethal gas that represents its greatest danger during winter heating season.
Lt. Maria Pelchar, Holyoke Fire Department
Part of this presentation will be given by Lt. Maria Pelchar, Fire Inspector at the Holyoke Fire Department. She is an experienced MassLandlords speaker.

At this event we will look at how the state budget has changed notices to quit and has created an individualized eviction moratorium for RAFT applicants. We will also look at whether the Congress or the CDC have extended the CDC eviction moratorium (not known at time of writing).
If you have a nonpayment situation or are considering helping your renters apply for RAFT, this event will give valuable legal information.

This webinar will give an in-depth answer to the question, “What can you tell me about evictions during the pandemic?” The focus will be on Massachusetts eviction records, which are public. MassLandlords staff have been studying evictions since 2015. We now publish weekly eviction data reports.
What’s the difference between a court filing and a forced move-out?
Where are the official eviction data?
Why is MassLandlords producing weekly reports?
Are eviction filings more or less frequent than before the pandemic?
Are forced move-outs happening?
Why are renters being taken to court?
What kinds of households are being filed against?
What kinds of landlords are going to court?
What can we say about discrepancies in representation rates?
What is “housing crisis” normal?
What can we say about total and average arrears?
What has state and federal government done that is helping?
Is there more to do?

Learn how to be listed on MassLandlords.net as a Certified Massachusetts Landlord™. This new professional designation is available to current, new and prospective owners and managers of Massachusetts residential rental real estate.
The program will start with an overview of why certification matters both in state politics and to your bottom line. Then we’ll review each of the three levels of certification, the first of which is available now. After this, we’ll put the slides away and do a live screenshare on the website. You will be taught step-by-step how to create your professional profile, review the Level One best practices, and sign the certification agreement. Finally, we’ll talk about how to use your new logo and status to advertise your business and differentiate yourself, especially if your local market makes it difficult to rent an apartment.
