Course Description
This course will cover the nuances that renting residential property poses to the real estate licensee. Students will learn how the same License Law issues that apply to sales apply to rentals and the specific instances where they may find themselves in similar, yet very different situations. Leasing Agent license rules will also be addressed. A special focus will be spent on Fair Housing since the majority of violations stem from rental property. Use of credit reports and other consumer reports will also be addressed. Fair Housing issues include tenant screening, use of credit and criminal background reports, assistance animals, reasonable accommodations, advertising, and other hot rental topics including escrow issues, security deposit laws, disclosure laws, and local ordinances that affect rentals will be covered.
