This presentation will teach how to conduct a mutual release with relocation assistance payment, sometimes called “cash for keys.” We will discuss:

• Brief history (going back to the 2008 collapse).
• General procedure.
• Common terms and conditions in a mutual release.
• How much to offer? Going rates from real experience.
• Negotiation tips for bad situations.
• Pros and cons from both a renter advocacy and landlord advocacy perspective.

Attendees will leave knowing whether and how to offer relocation assistance to a renter.

Part of this 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.

Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive
Director, MassLandlords, Inc. 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 2,500 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.

Networking time will be moderated by Patrick

This presentation will focus on foundational skills in tenant screening and rental applications. We will cover:

• A refresher on the protected classes and avoiding discrimination,
• Creating your own rental application, or using MassLandlords’,
• Evaluating information presented on an application,
• Checking housing history, credit reports and criminal records,
• Using the applicant qualifier to select the likeliest most successful applicant while still providing equal housing opportunity.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to use the MassLandlords rental application and applicant qualifier (or how to develop your own), how to access third party services to verify information presented, and how to rent for success.

“Doug’s presentation was excellent. He was very clear and provided detailed explanations.” -Larry

“Doug always holds very informative classes full of substance and Very organized!” -Thomas

“Thanks to you Doug, and all who worked on this presentation, as it is obvious that a lot went into it, as you said. It was much to digest, but your presentation of the information, and especially your opinions throughout, aided the translation. Also, your answers to member’s questions afterward, regarding recommendations, were most helpful. Always a pleasure.” -Liz
