Being a landlord can be tricky in this volatile housing market. But with Every Landlord's Property Protection Guide you can identify common risky situations and get specific, practical advice for dealing with them!

Instead of an encyclopedic manual of how to be a landlord, author and attorney Ron Leshnower zeroes in on specific problems faced by thousands of landlords and property managers in every state - ranging from accessibility issues to mold - and shows you how to avoid them.

The book includes step-by-step procedures to help landlords and managers:

Get the right insurance for your property

Lower the risk of crime

Understand fair housing rules

Stay on good terms with Uncle Sam

Remove environmental hazards

Become a careful, consistent steward of your property

Plus, each chapter features real life "It Won't Happen To You" stories of those who learned the hard way what can happen when you don't take care of problems before they arise.

Includes free CD

Every copy of Every Landlord's Property Protection Guide comes with a full version of Nolo's LeaseWriter Plus software that lets landlords and property managers create clear, legal leases or rental agreements in any state.

The CD included in this book is WINDOWS compatible only...
