Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to understand the terms of your written rental agreement and when to use certain addenda and notices. This webinar will go into detail to give YOU the basic understanding you need to know when it comes to your rental agreement, and will cover many of the common addenda and notices you will need to protect yourself. Our property management expert, Patti Widget, Founder of Widget’s Way, will lead an in-depth discussion and show you the “path” to a “solid” lease agreement.

DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE:

• “Ins” or “outs” of your lease? What’s legal and what isn’t.
• What addenda need to be added to your standard lease agreement?
• How should you serve your notices? How can you avoid problems in court?
• What are you missing in our lease “package?”
• Are hand-written notations on a lease document legal?
