We have plenty of exciting quirks this year: root beer floats, drawings for giveaways to donors, special guest appearances from Mr. Bill Ding and Jivee Coolidge the office watercooler, and more. We know that participants will be bringing tons of fun too–last year we had participants who played live music, performed a 2-person play, answer questions from the Jeopardy quiz, juggled, made a smoothie, demonstrated the art of print making, ate jucy lucy burgers, play the newlywed game, and even performed a 2-person acrobatic dance routine. What more can be accomplished?

“Introduction to Landlord Foreclosures: What Landlord and Tenant Attorneys Should Know,”
Matt Eichenlaub, Housing Attorney, HOME Line
Residential rental housing is not immune from the ongoing housing foreclosure crisis–in some communities 40% or more of the foreclosures involve investor-owned rental properties. This one hour CLE (1 credit to be applied for) will feature a brief introduction to the foreclosure process in general and then examine the nuances in a foreclosure when there is a landlord and tenant involved.
Matt Eichenlaub is a Housing Attorney at HOME Line. He has advised over 2,250 renters dealing with foreclosures since joining HOME Line in 2008. He has also given dozens of speeches on this topic to a variety of audiences.
The CLE webinar is sponsored by HOME Line and will take place from Noon-1pm on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012. The cost for the webinar is $20.
Those who register attend by internet webinar (a system requirement test to see if you can access the webinar is available here) and can submit written questions via the webinar Q&A text chat system. The CLE will be broadcasted live.

In January, over 100 supporters celebrated HOME Line’s 20 years of Tenant Advocacy in Minnesota. HOME Line board members hosted this 20th anniversary celebration honoring HOME Line’s Tenant Hotline, Organizing, and Advocacy accomplishments. Please take a look at our history as detailed in our 20 year retrospective (download/view HOME Line’s 20 Year Report).
To keep up-to-date on our accomplishments, you can view our Current Highlights page that is updated quarterly to inform community members about the services we provide and projects we are working on.
The speech, “What Every Landlord Should Know: Avoiding Honest (and costly) Mistakes” will focus on key issues that cause problems between landlords and tenants. Additionally, learn about several new laws that took effect in the last two years.
Please note: This course is recognized by the City of Minneapolis as covering the Fundamentals of Property Management. This can be up to a $250 savings for “point of conversion” fees (going from a non-rental to a rental unit).
