Regulatory compliance: When is the last time you have had proper training in your state's tenant/landlord laws and procedures?

What I experienced in engineering work was that the problems were solvable by following certain standards and procedures, it lacked a lot of creativity - kept us confined to the boundaries of the books.

I live close to my tenants and we have a procedure whereby they text if it's something small and they will usually just take care of it themselves and I will pay they for time and materials but if it's something like a broken pipe or the furnace not working they will more than likely call and I'll get a repairman to come out.
