Free Landlord-Tenant Law Seminar In West Allis on March 31, 2011

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in Screening Tenants, Rental Agreements, Rental Documents, Seminars / Comments

I will be presenting a seminar for the West Allis Landlord Training Program on Thursday, March 31, 2011 from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm.  This seminar is sponsored by the West Allis Police Department and is open to the public at no cost.

I will be speaking on two specific areas:

1.  Rental Documents -- specifically what rental documents you should be using with your tenants to protect yourself such as: Rental Agreement, Nonstandard Rental Provisions, Rules and Regulations, Rental Application, Pet Agreement, Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Forms, Carbon Monoxide Detector Forms, Check-In & Check-Out forms and more.

2.  Screening Prospective Tenants -- this topic will include discussion of the federal and state Fair Housing laws, written screening criteria, credit checks, CCAP, and how to reject an applicant.

The Seminar will be held in the West Allis Municipal court room which is located at 11301 W. Lincoln Avenue in West Allis.  Seating is limited so I would encourage anyone that is interested in attending to arrive early to insure a seat.

A detailed outline on the above topics will be given to each attendee and Wisconsin Legal Blank Co. will be on hand  with their landlord tenant law forms available for purchase.

Hope to see everyone there.
