Law Enforcement Offers Landlord Training

Posted on | October 28, 2009 | No Comments

Landlording issues are once again hot topics among real estate investors.  As more and more people move from foreclosed homes into rental homes and apartments, discussions about landlording have increased.  As you might have guessed, there are more criminal activities in rental living units these days, as unemployment rose and more rental units are filled with tenants.  To deal with increased criminal activity in rental living units, law enforcement agencies across the country have created programs, either to threaten and coerce, or assist landlords, in ridding  properties of criminal elements.

In Indianapolis, the Marion County Prosecutor has created a program to assist landlords.  The police department created an Anti-Crime Lease Addendum form, which I incorporated into my lease agreement form years ago.  And the courts are helpful and sympathetic to landlords willing to fight crime by evicting criminal-tenants.  So, In Indianapolis, at least, there is help for landlords wanting to keep crime out of their units.
