Let's meet to have a focus group to draft a garage and storage rental agreement. Or really, to identify the features we would want such that it can be drafted at a future date. We imagine that such an agreement would be totally separate from our residential agreement for tenancy. We want to post a new members-only form to rent a garage or storage space in a residential structure or neighborhood but without rights of residential tenancy. This will address the needs of a small but growing number of members who are renting apartments to carless households and garages to non-households.

Attendees will leave having helped us identify the key aspects of this proposed new form.

Chat will be moderated 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.

Course Graduate Testimonials

"I simply wanted to reach out and express just how happy I am to have attended the landlording crash course. The presentation and delivery of the information was flawless and I certainly have walked away with a greater understanding of the intricacies that govern being an above average landlord/manager." - Michael Murray

“Mr. Quattrochi presented the course in a comprehensive and easy to follow step-by-step format. His PowerPoint presentation was provided to us, in a binder, as part of the course, and I took notes right on the pages. I find this part to be an effective tool because I can refer to it anytime I need to follow procedure. There’s more to it, but for a fun day, I personally, recommend this course to anyone in the Real Estate landlording/investing business, beginners in this profession as well as experience professionals.” - Edwin Rivera

"This has really been a great deal. 2 books, 8 hours 'class' time, bound notes/slides -- impressive value!" -Dawn

"I found this course extremely useful. It was completely professional and gave me a great new perspective." -Nicholas

"I’m glad there was more in depth discussion than just reading off the slides. I appreciate the opportunity for questions and practice." -Crash Course Graduate

"If I had done this 20 years ago. Oh my goodness!" -Crash Course Graduate

"Great overview of being a landlord in MA" -Crash Course Graduate

"Covered a lot of ground concisely, but still enough time for questions and insight. Worth every penny." -Crash Course Graduate

Attorney Sherwin will start his office hours by discussing any recently concluded cases or case law of interest.

After that, we'll be having open office hours about any rental real estate legal topics you may care to bring. This meeting is a great opportunity for members to learn from an experienced attorney.

We will not enter attorney-client privilege. We will not address questions in private. We will have a group discussion about legal topics of interest to attendees. Questions will be answered entirely at Attorney Sherwin's discretion and as time allows.

Part of this presentation will be given by attorney Adam Sherwin. Adam is an experienced real estate litigator with years of experience representing landlords, property owners, and other real estate professionals. He has extensive experience litigating real estate disputes before judges and juries and has obtained favorable decisions from the Massachusetts Appeals Court and District Court Appellate Division. He is also a long-time crash course instructor at the Cambridge headquarters and over zoom.

"No Sales Pitch" Guarantee

MassLandlords offers attendees of directly managed events a "No Sales Pitch" guarantee. If a guest speaker offers services, their presentation will not discuss pricing, promotions, or reasons why you should hire them.
We do not permit speakers to pay for or sponsor events. Guest speakers are chosen for their expertise and willingness to present helpful educational content. Your purchase of an event ticket sustains our nonprofit model.
