We're all Section 8 landlords now that the Metro Council has passed the Fairness Ordinance. (Read a PDF of the ordinance document here.)

KREIA's Parliamentarian, attorney Michelle Rawn, is leading a four-hour workshop, via Zoom call, to help us navigate the new rules that take effect March 1st.

The goal of this workshop is to help landlords work in cooperation with the Louisville Metro Housing Authority and covers:

• How to be proactive with inspections
• And most importantly, how to answer questions when applicants call us and ask, "Do you take Section 8?"

Michelle is also putting together a panel of area property managers who regularly work with Section 8 to share their stories and tips. You will learn from:

• Chrystal Stoudemire and Justin Leanhart from LREI
• Ashley Combs with Ramey and Associates
• Kim Kramer of Best Rentals
• Lori Reese with Summerfield Realty

Register now for this workshop, which is free for KREIA members.
