Description

State Requirements

The District of Columbia is both an international hub for tourism and short-term residency and an innately temporary stomping ground for populations that come and go with each election cycle. With this in mind, a DC property manager has to juggle not only the everyday demands of property management—rent collection, tenant screening, and property maintenance, for example—but also the unique needs of this thriving, diverse, and continuously popular place to call home.

This six-hour course provides an introduction into property management basics by covering topics such as licensure requirements and the rights and responsibilities of DC landlords and tenants, as well as issues surrounding fair housing and human rights. It also includes a rundown of District-specific initiatives, laws, and practices that a property manager needs to be effective and proactive in the nation’s capital.

Course highlights include:

Property management definitions
Licensure, exemptions to licensure, role, and fiduciary duties of the DC property manager
Managing common interest communities and community associations
Reporting and record keeping requirements
Fair housing, human rights, and property management
DOPA, TOPA, and HOPA
Technology and data security
DC sustainability practices and initiatives
Historic preservation
Inclusionary zoning
Capital improvements
