(December 23, 2019) — Property owners take on many roles in their work with tenants – from collecting rent and leasing units to managing repairs and troubleshooting tenant issues.
Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, an organization that partners with property owners to provide housing for families who have experienced homelessness, will offer a free workshop on addressing tenant issues with help from two attorneys on Wednesday, January 8 from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at the Center for Changing Lives, 2400 Park Avenue in Minneapolis.
Evan Gelles with Mid-Minnesota Legal and Mike Vraa with the HOME Line, experts in landlord/tenant law, will be on hand to address questions around repairs during and after tenancy, reasonable accommodation requests for individuals with disabilities, handling unlawful activity on the property and other issues. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions.
“This is a great opportunity for anyone who is a property owner to learn how to handle tenant issues well and legally,” explained Lory Perryman, manager with Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota.
