free webinar – federal and state government policymaking: trends affecting the property management industry

every year, certain issues move to the forefront of the federal and state legislative bodies. it is no surprise that you may see congress or state legislatures introduce bills addressing the same topic. some of the issues trending in the property management industry will be addressed in a webinar on june 5 that is free to all irem members.

ted thurn, irem director, government affairs, will discuss rent control and landlord/tenant bills that have been introduced at the state level and irem’s response to the proposed legislation. ryan huffman, cpm, chair of irem’s federal housing advisory board, will discuss the board’s activity while in d.c. addressing assistance animals, insurance for federally assisted properties in disaster areas, and the violence against women act (vawa).
