Category: Rules and Regulations

Landlord-tenant laws around the country are changing rapidly, often differing city-to-city. The last thing you want is to have to compromise on your choice of tenants, or land yourself in court about regulatory misstep. It is important to educate yourself on rules and regulations for landlords.

Articles in this section will help you navigate this changing landscape, avoiding legal pitfalls and keep your properties full of great tenants paying market rents. We might highlight the issues around service and therapy animals, for example. Or create an overview of rules and regulations on collection and usage of deposits by landlords. By addressing each stage in the tenure of a tenant we’ll provide guidance on staying out of trouble and getting the best outcomes.
