Education Overview

RHAWA believes strongly that education is a key component to owning and managing rental housing, maximizing the return on your investment, and being a community partner. The more owners and managers who ethically operate their business with a solid understanding of the law, the better chance we have to limit overreaching regulations imposed by the government.

The Rental Housing Academy's (RHA) education program is designed to provide independent housing providers, MHC owners, and others in the residential housing industry a foundation of knowledge and skills to help them meet legal responsibilities and succeed in the business. RHAWA provides deeply discounted education on rental operations, Residential and Manufactured Housing Landlord-Tenant Acts, property investment, and rental business management. Informal discussions and presentations are offered to explore trending issues and targeted topics of interest in the rental housing industry. RHA's curriculum is created collaboratively so you receive objective and well-vetted information. Our engaging instructors are selected based on tenure in the rental housing business and speaking experience.
