Statewide Virtual Meeting Wed June 1: Cash for Keys, An Alternative to Eviction
https://masslandlords.net/event-web/2022-06-01-statewide/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.

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.

“Thanks to you Doug, and all who worked on this presentation, as it is obvious that a lot went into it, as you said.

Southbridge Mon Jun 6: HUD VASH
https://masslandlords.net/event-web/2022-06-06-swcla/Southbridge Community Center (aka Casaubon Senior Center)153 Chestnut St, Southbridge, MA 01550, USAOur June speaker will be Jordan Klebanow, Central Mass HUD-VASH Supervisor. Jordan will be talking about HUD VASH, a program that supports Veterans in and around Worcester County.
HUD VASH marries a traditional Housing and Urban Development rental subsidy with VA funded supportive services. The rental subsidy operates like any other – the landlord enters into a partnership with a housing authority in which the housing authority pays at least 70% of the apartment rent, with the veteran responsible for the remaining 30%. It’s then the team at HUD VASH’s job to make sure the vet is accessing sources of income, mental and physical health care, transportation, and has everything they need to live comfortably.
HUD VASH currently works with many local landlords and are actively cultivating relationships with new landlords as they grow their team and house more veterans.
Once again, we will be trying to have a hybrid meeting, that is, both in person and Zoom. If you attend in person, wearing a mask will be up to individual discretion.
Pizza and soft drinks will be available during our social hour.

Free Public Virtual Meeting Wed June 8: Feedback Session for Software to Rent by the Room Compliantly
https://masslandlords.net/event-web/2022-06-08-statewide/This presentation will focus on RentOptimum, new software developed by WinOptimum.com and longtime MassLandlords member Alex Narinsky. The platform combines Alex’s experience with Airbnb and VRBO in the Boston metropolitan area. Alex pivoted his rental business to concentrate on long-term apartment shares, in some cases room-by-room rentals. We will review:
- Reasons why “apartment sharing” is in demand like never before.
- The policy framework in towns that regulate renting by the room and apartment sharing including Boston, Worcester, Newton, Arlington, Cambridge and more.
- Renovations landlords can make to increase the availability of rooms for rent.
- Is it a lodging house?
- Do I sign joint and several or separate agreements?
- How RentOptimum can help you manage longer-term room rentals.
Attendees will leave having seen Alex’s software and given feedback. Attendees who subsequently try RentOptimum and give Alex feedback will have their service charges eliminated for one year. There is no expectation or requirement that anyone use the software. MassLandlords receives no affiliate commission for promoting RentOptimum. There is no sales pitch in terms of pricing or hidden conditions, Alex is just looking for people to try his platform and give feedback.
Part of this event will be presented by Alex
Narinsky. Alex has been working as an engineer for many years in various fields (software, chemical engineering, applied mathematics). He began investing in real estate in 2001 and has expanded as a family business to several apartment buildings in Cambridge and Newton. Alex also produced several building renovation projects (Build Optimum). Alex is a licensed Professional Engineer and also holds several professional software certifications from Oracle, Microsoft and Amazon. In 2021 Alex joined the company WinOptimum as a Principal Software Engineer leading the rental applications.Networking time will be moderated by Patrick
