LANDLORD EDUCATION

Am I ready to become a responsible landlord whooperates lawfully and farily?
Am I ready to be a business owner?

Just starting out as a landlord can be rather eye-opening.  Owning rental property is one way of achieving the dream of homeownership.  But, in buying a rental property it is not only your home but also your business.  As a business owner, you must adhere to the laws, rules, and regulations that govern rental housing, and have a clear understanding of appropriate rental rules and practices.

When you participate in our Landlord Education workshop you will learn the technical, financial, and practical aspects involved in owning a rental property, as well as the moral and ethical responsibilities that come with being a landlord.

 

The purpose is to help you, as a first-time landlord, take a realistic look at and understand the risks and responsibilities involved in the business of being a landlord, and to share some proven ways of handling them successfully.

 

With NEST Landlord Education, you will learn the responsibilities that come with being a respected, fair, and lawfully fair landlord. NEST help’s you:

 

  • Understand your rights and responsibilities

  • Understand the rights of your tenants

  • Differentiate between month-to-month vs. term lease

  • Identify the six major elements to a lease

  • Maintain tenants

  • Foresee and manage maintenance and repairs and more!
