Understanding the Fine Print for Onsite Personnel

Tue, 20 Jul 2010

Understanding the Fine Print with Attorney Bill Warren

This seminar covers the TAA lease and several key addenda provisions in depth. It is a must-attend seminar for leasing professionals, independent owners and those who are new to rental housing. You'll get a legal overview of the most significant provisions and how they interact with one another. We'll discuss why these terms are important to both lease up and day-to-day operations. You'll explore what can go wrong when using the forms and how to avoid problems. This class takes a topical approach coupled with actual lease provisions, rather than a paragraph-by-paragraph review.

Bring your questions and Mr. Warren will find contract provisions to address them!!

The TAA leases and addenda are the same ones you use everyday. After attending this lively and entertaining seminar, you will master the legal language contained in these important forms and understand them fully.
