The Applicant Qualifier with Nuisance Disqualifiers

[Jillian Campayno]

We will be proposing a set of "nuisance disqualifiers" to reduce time spent on applicants unlikely to qualify. Not all nuisances are rejectable offenses because some intersect with protected classes. But some are rejectable. Attendees will see and have a chance to provide feedback on:

• No-shows.
• Unwanted communications.
• Incomplete applications.
• And much more!

We will also review the protected classes and the applicant qualifier in brief for attendees who missed our recent in-depth presentation. Attendees will leave having provided feedback on our next rental form revisions and also learned a little bit about application screening.

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. 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.

Open Q&A time for this event will be moderated by Erin Zamarro. Erin Zamarro is a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker in Worcester, operating since 2008. She is a member of MassLandlords and the National Association of Realtors. Erin frequently works with buyers and sellers of multifamily or investment properties, as well as assisting property owners with rentals. She owns 8 units in Worcester.
