I do not own rental property but thought I would pass this announcement along in case there are others on this forum thinking of becoming a landlord and want some information. Below is some basic info about the one day course being offered by the city. The full flyer with more information is attached.
"The training course will provide practical tips on how to reduce the likelihood of nuisance violations and drug, gang and illegal activity occurring in and around rental property. It will include instructions on implementing effective applicant screening policies and practices, strengthening rental agreements, recognizing warning signs of drug and gang activity, taking the right legal steps to resolve problems, understanding the role of the police, and reviewing the City’s probationary rental occupancy permit (PROP) and rental registration ordinances.
The one-day course, which the City is presenting in partnership with property managers and the legal community, will be held on Feb. 18, May 20 and Oct. 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room at the Raleigh Housing Authority, 871 Harp Street. This training course is approved for continuing education credits from the North Carolina Bar Association (six hours) and North Carolina Real Estate Commission (four hours)."
