Dear Rental Property Owners, Property Managers and Investors -
There has been a great deal of coverage this entire year about several, less friendly ideas for both our Resident Customers (Tenants) and Owner/Managers, as potential solutions to the affordable housing crisis we have across this entire country.
All too often we are hearing or reading of ideas being thrown out by advocacy groups and politicians on both sides of the aisle at times, to jockey for position (votes) as elections loom.
We plan to dive a little deeper into some of these ideas as they relate to the rental housing industry next week, August 14th, at our monthly meeting. So please make sure you mark your calendars and sign up on our website so we can keep track of attendance. We anticipate both the August and September meetings to be well attended given the subject matter, and timeliness given the election cycle we are in. (Please note that the September meeting is planned to be a "Legislative Meet-and-Greet" event so please get signed up for this event as well.)
In our August meeting we will be discussing the State of the Rental Housing Industry with a brief recap of:
- Advocacy Efforts at the Federal and State Levels
- NAA Dollar of Rent Updates
- Our own Dollar of Rent Analysis (Updated)
After this we will take a deeper dive into what’s getting all the attention related to concepts like those listed below (and more):
- Rent Control
- Eviction Records: Sealing, Retention & Removal
- Just Cause Evictions
- Non-Renewal Restrictions and Requirements
- Screening Standards
- Junk Fees
The link to the article listed below does a good job of summarizing one of the key points above, Rent Control, and what we know about how we got here. Note, there are several hyperlinks embedded in this article that we encourage you to click on and become familiar with.
