Xcel Reminder
A quick reminder that Xcel Energy can not have anything hanging on the gas meter sets. We continue to find lock boxes on the meters, and I realize it is a convenient place to put them, but we can’t allow it. I also realize that some of these are contractor lock boxes and we are addressing that with them as well. If we find lock boxes on the meter sets we will call and ask for them to be removed ASAP. If we are unable to reach anyone and the lock box is impeding our work that needs performed the boxes will be cut off and left next to the meter.
CAR
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected renters and property managers alike. Join us for this enlightening webinar on Friday, May 14, 9:00 am – 11:00 am designed especially for property managers of all sizes.
In the first part of the webinar, experienced eviction attorney Vic Sulzer, Partner at Tschetter Hamrick Sulzer P.C., will discuss the current landscape for eviction moratoriums in Colorado, including:
- A brief overview of changes (CARES Act, CDC Order, and the Governor's Executive Orders),
- Discuss the current status (late fee prohibition, 10-day vs. 30-day, CDC Declarations, etc.), and
- Explain the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP).
In the second half, REALTOR® and Property Manager Andrea Warner will moderate a lively roundtable discussion among experts who advocate on behalf of property managers and property owners. Panelists will discuss current legislative proposals before the Colorado General Assembly that deal with residential rental properties and their impacts if they became law.
Panelists include:
- Nate Baumgart; Institute of Real Estate Management
- Andrew Hamrick; Apartment Association of Metro Denver
- Elizabeth Peetz; Colorado Association of REALTORS®
- Danielle Rogers; Colorado Landlord Legislative Coalition
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions. There is no charge for this webinar.
