AASEW's Fall Landlord Boot Camp Announced - October 29, 2016
The AASEW's Fall Landlord Boot Camp has recently been announced. This will be the 14th Boot Camp.
This Boot Camp will be a very important one as I will be covering two new topics that are very important.
1. We will discuss the new Landlord Tenant Law (Act 176) and its effects including the "crime-free" provisions, and
2. We will discuss HUD's new directive regarding the use of an applicant's criminal history in the screening process.
Our last Boot Camp sold out several weeks before the event so if you are interested I would encourage you to sign up early.
It is important to remember that landlording can be pretty complex, with a seemingly never ending myriad of paperwork, rules, landlord-tenant laws and simple mistakes that can cost you thousands. In fact as we speak a new landlord-tenant bill is being debated in Madison.
The Apartment Association of Southeastern Wisconsin's 14th “Landlord Boot Camp" can help you navigate these treacherous waters and learn how to run your properties with greater profit and less hassles.
Who: Taught by Attorney Tristan Pettit, who drafts many of the landlord tenant forms for Wisconsin Legal Blank.
Attorney Tristan Pettit has given similar landlord-tenant law seminars to fellow attorneys, landlords, and property manager organizations that charge their members $300-$400. This is your opportunity to learn all of the same information at a huge discount through the Apartment Association
When: Saturday, October 29, 2016 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Registration opens at 7:00 AM

What you will learn at the Apartment Association's 2016 Landlord Boot Camp
Landlord Boot Camp covers everything that you need to know about residential Landlord Tenant law in Wisconsin, as amended in April 2012 by Act 143, again in March 2014 by Act 76 and again in March 2016 by Act 176, including:
1. How to properly screen prospective tenants
2. How to draft written screening criteria to assist you in the selection process
3. How to comply with both federal and state Fair Housing laws including how to comply with “reasonable modifications" and “reasonable accommodations" requests
4. How to legally reject an applicant
5. What rental documents you should be using and why
6. When you should be using a 5-day notice versus a 14-day notice, 28-day notice, or 30-day notice and how to properly serve the notice on your tenant
7. Everything you wanted to know (and probably even more than you wanted to know) about the Residential Rental Practices (ATCP 134) and how to avoid having to pay double damages to your tenant for breaching ATCP 134
8. When you are legally allowed to enter your tenant's apartment
9. How to properly draft an eviction summons and complaint
10. What to do to keep the commissioner from dismissing your eviction suit
11. What you can legally deduct from a security deposit
12. How to properly draft a security deposit transmittal / 21 day letter
13. How to handle pet damage
14. What to do with a tenant's abandoned property and how this may affect whether or not you file an eviction suit
15. How to pursue your ex-tenant for damages to your rental property and past due rent (and whether it is even worth it to do so)
There will also be an ample question and answer period. This alone is worth the admission.. . . and much more.
