Common Traps for the Unwary Landlord

This presentation will give a legal overview of landlording, focusing on the common mistakes that landlords make, especially those that are the most costly.

We will review basic requirements of:

  • Security deposits
  • Tenant screening and anti-discrimination
  • Lead paint
  • Notices to quit
  • Sanitary code
  • Pre-rental inspections
  • and more.

This presentation will not be an in-depth review of any particular topic, each of which could be an entire presentation on its own. But we will give a general compliance check. And we will reserve lots of time for questions so that we can make sure to answer your particular concerns, or at least point you in the right direction for next steps.

 


A landlord with a bowl haircut runs toward a pile money, which sits underneath an open shipping container labeled Landlord-Tenant Law. The container is propped up by a stick, attached to which is a rope leading off screen. Someone off screen is prepared to pull the rope and trap the landlord.
