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.

Why I Am So Excited About This Saturday's AASEW Landlord Boot Camp

I am really excited about this Saturday's AASEW Landlord Boot Camp. Why you ask? Well let me tell you.

Just last week the Senate in Madison passed SB 179 which is a very large and sweeping revision to much of landlord-tenant law in Wisconsin. This bill not only cleans up the unintended consequences of last years Act 143, it also makes some major changes such as:

- Applies the new streamlined abandoned property law to evictions

- Allows the towing of vehicles on private property without the need for a citation to be issued first

- Prevents municipalities from requiring landlords to distribute information or report information to the government that is not required by state or federal law

- Allows non-lawyers to appear in court to represent their LLC's in eviction and other small claims actions

- It speeds up the eviction process - requiring the court to hear and complete an eviction trial within 20 days of the return date

- Allows property management companies or another agent of the owner to file evictions on behalf of their clients/owners

- Clears up the confusion regarding evicting a tenant that was involved in criminal activity

This bill has not yet been signed into law, but barring a veto from Governor Walker -- which is not anticipated -- it will become law very soon. SB 179 will help landlords and good law-abiding tenants alike.

So the reason I am so excited about this Saturday's Boot Camp is because it will be the 1st opportunity I have to teach landlords and property managers about the new changes.

SB 179 is a very comprehensive law. I just completed my outline this past weekend and boy there is a lot of information to cover.

If you are interested in learning about this new bill as well as the 7 other large topics that I will be teaching (including: the judicial eviction process, causes for eviction, security deposit issues, screening applicants, rental documents and much much more) at this Fall's Boot Camp -- please go to www.landlordbootcamp2013.com and sign up as there are still a few spots left!

I hope to see many of you there.

Besides teching you about the new law, Attorney Tristan Pettit will also address numerous other of topics that will help you navigate Wisconsin's complex landlord - tenant laws. Learn how to run your properties with greater profit while staying out of trouble. 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.

Some of the other topics that will be covered include:

1) How to properly screen prospective tenants

2) How to draft written screening criteria to assist you in the tenant 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 or judge from dismissing your eviction lawsuit

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 time for "Q&A" and Lunch is included!

If that is not enough you will also receive a manual that is over 100 pages that includes all of Tristan's outlines on the various topics and various forms.
