Vote, Post and Win on Election Day!

Calling All Property Managers!
Join the WRAR Property Management Council at their next meeting on November 14 at 9AM in the Conference Room at 1826 Sir Tyler Dr. Come meet your peers and discuss problems and find solutions - you're are not alone. As of October 1, there is a law allowing partial payment of rent which may still be the basis for proceeding with eviction rather than requiring the eviction to stop - a win for property managers and owners. More questions prior to this meeting? Contact Lois at Lois@WRAR.com or Chair David Dougherty at David@DavidDoughertyHomes.Com. |
