Landlord/Tenant Preventive Law

Built for property management company teams and independent rental owners, this class delivers clear, practical guidance for every stage of the rental relationship. Whether you oversee a single unit or a full portfolio, you’ll gain a solid understanding of key responsibilities, legal requirements, and best practices that support smooth operations and reduce risk.

We’ll begin with pre-tenancy essentials, including screening practices, source-of-income requirements, approval and denial procedures, and the elements of a strong lease. We’ll review effective communication, policy enforcement, disability accommodation requests, VAWA considerations, unit entry rules, and maintenance obligations to support you during active tenancy.

To round out the course, we’ll cover the end-of-tenancy process, including notice types, just-cause standards, the path of an eviction, and important steps after move-out. Topics include abandonment, pre-move-out inspections, and security deposit compliance.

This class gives both company teams and independent owners the tools they need to remain compliant, navigate complex situations with confidence, and support a professional experience for their residents.
