The City of Raleigh’s next landlord training class will be held on May 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Raleigh Housing Authority’s multipurpose community room, 971 Harp St. The one-day course offers useful information to rental property owners and managers, real estate agents, lawyers and others who deal with or have an interest in rental issues.

Participants receive tips on reducing the likelihood of nuisance violations and drug, gang and illegal activity around rental property. They also learn about the City’s Rental Dwelling Registration and Probationary Rental Occupancy Permit ordinances.
Instructors in the landlord training class represent the City of Raleigh Police, Inspections and Community Services departments and the City Attorney’s Office; Triangle Apartment Association; Sentinel Real Estate Corporation; the Raleigh Housing Authority; and Hatch, Little & Bunn LLP.
