Tips for Active Management
Through education and support, the Crime Free Rental Housing Program addresses rental based illegal activities and special needs with the goal of reducing calls for police service and creating a safer and more stable living environment for residents.
Illegal activity on or around rental property can have a substantial negative impact to the landlord, tenants and to the surrounding neighborhood, including:
- Decline in property values - particularly when the activity begins affecting the reputation of the neighborhood
- Increased property damage - arising from abuse, retaliation or neglect
- Loss of rent - from good tenants moving out
- Fear and frustration - in dealing with dangerous tenants
- Toxic contamination from drug labs - which could result in condemnation of the property
- Resentment and anger between neighbors and property managers
Interested rental property owners and managers, real estate agents, security personnel, maintenance personnel, insurance agents, mortgage holders, and others are invited to attend our Crime Free Rental Housing training. Our next training will be held in June 2025.
