Part I: Emotional Support Animals

How can you distinguish the $80 "Emotional Support Animal" online special from the real deal without denying a legitimately disabled person the chance for equal housing opportunity?

This part of the presentation will be given by Jeremy Scheiner of the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination.

Part II: Ask the Experts

We'll be having a round table (really, whole room) discussion about any rental real estate topics. This meeting is a great opportunity for our members to learn from each other's experiences. Bring your questions about tenant issues, lease agreements and addendum, best practices or share your knowledge to answer other members questions.

The discussion will be moderated by a panel of experienced landlords and attorneys.

*Part I: Discrimination Refresher

We'll review the protected classes and equal housing opportunity laws. Yes, you can reject the rental application of someone who's a member of a protected class. But no, you can't do so because of their being in that protected class. We'll cover federal and state protected classes, steering, and testing. We'll make sure everyone leaves the room understanding their obligations to ensure equal housing opportunity for all.

In particular we'll cover emotional support animals, children when there's lead in the apartment, Section 8, and more.

This part of the presentation will be MassLandlords repertoire presented by Executive Director Douglas Quattrochi.

*Part II: Guerilla Tenant Screening Tactics

If you've been in the business a while you won't be surprised to hear that applicants sometimes lie. If you're new, this is a must-see presentation. Experienced landlords will be sharing their insider secrets on how to run a rental screening process rigorously, fairly, and without failure. How do you verify sources of income? What does it mean to check a rental application? What's the one thing you can say to ruin your chances of getting a truthful landlord reference?

Avoid $50,000 fines and make the world a better place by judging applicants without regard to their membership in a protected class. Under federal and state law, there are a whole host of reasons you cannot reject someone. Race, color, and religion are well established. Are you equally sure about disability, public assistance, and gender identity? We'll give an overview of these protected classes and things you might say that sound well-intentioned but could land you in hot water. Must you rent to Section 8? How can you separate the legitimate support animals from the $79.95 Internet special? Is it ever safe to say, "It's not deleaded"?

This part of the presentation will be given by Jeremy Scheiner, Director of Training at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination.

Part I: Subsidy Alphabet Soup

When a renter submits an application with a subsidy, do you know how to screen them? MRVP, RCAP, TFADC, the list goes on and on! We'll walk you through the various programs and alert you to opportunities to make money by participating where other landlords wrongly fear to tread. We'll also cover discrimination protections. Attendees will leave confident you can select good subsidized candidates and avoid the bad without running afoul of the law or exposing yourself to undue business risk.

This part of the presentation will be MassLandlords repertoire presented by Executive Director Douglas Quattrochi.

Part II: Water Submetering Alternatives

The water bill is the biggest exposure for a landlord entering a contested eviction. All it takes is one twist of the wrist and thousands of dollars in water and sewer bills will be on their way. Is this really the way rentals should be? No! But no longer do you have to gut your three-decker to get compliant water metering. Technology gives us cheaper alternatives and there are local plumbers installing this in older buildings regularly.

This part of the presentation will have a speaker TBD. We have a specific licensed commercial plumber in mind but are waiting to confirm availability.

Cambridge Tues 1/15: How to Make a Winning Eviction Case

Part I:

Whether you get through life as a landlord never having to evict anyone, or you're in court every week, there's always something to learn from a landlord-tenant attorney talking about eviction and court cases more generally. In this part of the presentation, we'll be covering do's and dont's of civil procedure (summary process, aka eviction). We'll share the best tips and tricks to make a compelling case to the mediator, the clerk magistrate, the judge, or the jury, as the case may be.

This part of the presentation will be given by Attorney Adam Sherwin. Attorney Sherwin is a Google five-star attorney over seven reviews, has assisted with the MassLandlords crash course, and has been admitted to five bars (MA, NY, VT, US MA, and US Appeals First Circuit).

Note: We had previously advertised that Cambridge Inspectional Services would be visiting us. They have rescheduled for March.
