Last Chance To Sign Up For AASEW’s Landlord Boot Camp 2012

Feb 7

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in AASEW, Seminars | No Comments

Hi Everyone:

We have had a very good response to our ads for the AASEW’s 4th Annual Landlord Boot Camp.  So much so that seats are quickly running out . . . or we may need to consider adding a second seminar shortly after the first.

If you are interested in attending this year’s Boot Camp on Saturday, Feb, 25th, I would strongly suggest that you register here.

I will be presenting this all-day seminar (8:30 am – 5:30 pm) at the Clarion Hotel located at 5311 S. Howell Avenue.

I will be teaching you everything you need to know legally to be a residential landlord or property manager.

Here are what past attendees said about Landlord Boot Camp.

We will cover topics such as:

-       How to screen applicants

-       How to avoid discrimination issues and better understand fair housing laws

-       How to draft legal screening criteria

-       How to legally reject an applicant

-       How to spot an applicant that is “fronting” for another applicant that won’t qualify to rent from you

-       What rental documents you should be using and why

-       The Residential Rental Practices (Wisconsin Administrative Code ATCP 134) and what can happen to you if you violate any of these 21 regulations.

-       What are the “7 Deadly Sins” and why you cannot include them in your rental agreement

-       What is the best way to evict a tenant and how to accomplish this

-       What are the different choices a landlord has when deciding what type of notice to serve a tenant

-       How to serve a tenant a notice so that service cannot be attacked in court

-       How to navigate your way through the judicial eviction process

-       What evidence you must present at an eviction trial to prevail

-       What to do with a tenant’s abandoned property

-       How to draft a legal security deposit transmittal letter

-       How to collect for past due rent and damage from an ex-tenant (or should you even bother pursuing this)

. . .  and much more.

All attendees will also receive a 100 page + manual (with lots of sample forms) to refer to in your business when the seminar has faded from your memory : )

Attendees will also receive a free lunch on the day of the seminar.

Cost is $159 for members of the AASEW, $249 for non-AASEW members (you can join the AASEW for an additional $1), $199 for members of any landlord or apartment association.  Past attendees will receive a discount for attending again.

Register online or by calling the AASEW at 414-276-7378.

I hope to see all of you there!!!!

AASEW Cancels “Meet Your Legislators” Day Due To Protests In Madison

Mar 8

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in AASEW | 1 Comment

The Apartment Association of Southeastern Wisconsin (AASEW) Board of Directors decided today to cancel its very popular ”Meet Your Legislators” Day in Madison which was planned for Wednesday, March 16, 2011.

The goal of “Meet Your Legislators” Day was to meet with several state politicians to voice the concerns of rental property owners with regard to our industry.  Many of the politicians that we have spoken with recently indicated that they would not have time to meet with us due to the constant meetings and the protests at the State Capitol.

The AASEW was also concerned that even if meetings could be scheduled, it would be difficult to have the politicians full attention.  Obviously those legislators that are actually appearing for work have their hands full with other important matters.

As such, the AASEW has regretfully, canceled the trip to Madison.  It is our hope that we can reschedule the trip in the future once things settle down in Mad-Town.

Check back here or at www.apartmentassoc.org for any updates.

I apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused those members that had already registered for the event.
