Did you hear the one about the maintenance guy that walked into the wrong apartment? He got sued for sexual harassment. Oh wait…that isn’t funny. But, it can happen. Maintenance employees are the first in line for fair housing complaints because they have the most interaction with residents. In this webinar, we will discuss the latest guidance, rules, and cases involving fair housing as it applies to maintenance employees.
Our discussion will include:
How Fair Housing Applies to Maintenance
Harassment Cases involving Maintenance
Common Fair Housing Maintenance Complaints
Pointers on Staying Out of Trouble

Dealing with Problem Residents
(August 25, 2020, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. central)
Somehow every property has one or two residents that are always walking-the-line of eviction. These few residents consume most of the manager’s time with investigations, inspections, and sending out notices. Everything they do seems to be either a violation of the lease or cause a problem with a neighbor. In this webinar, we will discuss some common problems when residents behave badly and give landlords some guidance on how to address the problems.
Our discussion will include:
• Refusal to Allow Access to the Apartment
• Unauthorized Occupants
• Unauthorized Pets
• Damage to the Property
• Bad Housekeeping
• Threats of Violence
This FREE, interactive class is made possible by our Diamond Sponsors.
