Strategies for Investor-Owned Rental Properties
Description

The rise of investor-owners in the rental housing market since the early 2010s has raised significant concerns not just for housing affordability, but for the health and safety of the tenants living in these properties. Rental properties owned by an absentee investor may have dangerous conditions and deferred maintenance issues because the investor is trying to squeeze as much profit out of that property as possible. Learn about research-backed ideas communities can use to persuade decision-makers to act on problematic investor-owned properties. This session also highlights efforts to address investor-owned problem properties in Dallas and Cincinnati through the variety of tools available to code enforcement, legal departments, and redevelopment agencies.
