The First UAA Trade Show

By Gavin Gilbert & Taylor Smith "Freedom... Economy... Convenience... The Apartment House Way" was the theme of the first ever Apartment House Week held from August 27-September 2, 1939.

At the time of this first Trade Show the Association was only five years old. The board of directors gathered the group’s brightest minds together in effort to promote the apartment industry. Despite an economy still affected by the great depression, and overwhelming war tension across the world the solution was simple: gathering together everybody connected to the Apartment industry for a trade show. Because of the economy the number of renters was increasing, and with so many being impacted by the Apartment House Industry a trade show would be a great way to improve the industry and educate landlords and the public.

A Committee consisting of Harvey Ross, W.S Barton, Richard E. Ashton, V. A. Bettilyon and F. Orin Woodbury was organized to put the trade show together. The Director of the Apartment House Association of Utah Harvey Ross, was chosen to

chair that Committee. When asked about Apartment House Week he said that the association hoped to give landlords “information as to courteous treatment, fair practices and improved methods.”

Times were tough back then. The day before the first Apartment House Week ended fears of war in Europe were realized as Nazi Germany invaded Poland, starting World War II. But through everything that would come in the following decades the Utah Apartment Association has continued to offer our members information, training and networking through our annual Trade Show and other events.

Legislative Update: New Security Deposit Rules will Benefit both Landlords and Tenants The 2014 Legislative session was wild and crazy as sessions always are, but we came out very well. This doesn't happen by itself. There were hundreds of hours put in by our members, committees, lobbyists and staff. Thanks to all who work so hard to protect us.

The biggest issues: Radon regulation - We were able to help defeat efforts to require mandatory and overzealous radon inspections whenever tenants move in or out. This costs between $250 and $300 every time a tenant moved in or out and requires you to sit empty a couple of weeks waiting for test results. Unfortunately there will always be people, including the testing industry, who want to impose these requirements on us. We are going to remain vigilant in helping the legislature understand the burden that mandatory testing would be for rental operations.

We remind you to be aware of this issue and thoroughly ventilate your units and deal with potential hazards. If we are vigilant and reduce

problems, the need to pass regulations is reduced.

Restrictive regulations on wood burning fireplaces -No bills were passed, due in part to our efforts, to require mandatory testing of fireplaces at each move in/move out as has been proposed. In addition, we were able to get language in the division of real estate statute that state agencies like Department of Air Quality must get approval from the Real Estate commission before regulating real estate transactions. That will assure there is a thorough and fair process before government uses regulatory authority to inpact our business.

Rental unit inspections - While we believe Salt Lake City is violating state law (which says no random rental housing inspections are allowed unless there is cause or complaint), we have agreed with the city to sit down with them and talk this year about legalizing some inspections for legitimate health and safety reasons for some properties. In the meantime they have agreed to not enforce any penalty for refusing to let your property be inspected. Let’s be clear - INSPECTORS ARE STILL

NTN SecureMobile NTN SecureMobile®

GOING TO ASK TO DO INSPECTIONS – however you can refuse with no penalty while we work through the issue with them.

Deposit dispositions - This is our favorite bill this session. In addition to the following, this bill also awards damages to prevailing parties in deposit disputes. This means if you are sued frivolously, or if you lose in small claims court and have to appeal to district court and win there, your tenant will have to pay your court fees and attorneys costs. A summary of the new law follows.

SB 147 Residential Renter's Deposits (Summary) 1. The problem: While the vast majority of landlords return deposits on a timely basis, a small percentage are not doing this properly and we need to strengthen the statute to protect renters and assure they receive deposits back in a timely fashion.

2. The solution: Change the statute in the following ways: • Clarify that refunds or an explanation of charges MUST be sent within 30 days (currently if a tenant doesn't give a forwarding address a landlord can keep the deposit until they do).

• Create a notice to cure that can be served by a tenant to a landlord if deposit or explanation of charges not received within 30 days.

Notice gives landlord 5 days to return it to the address requested or face penalties.

• Increase the penalty to the full amount of the deposit, plus $100, court costs and attorney's fees.

3. How it affects the public Improvements for tenants: • Raises the penalty for not returning a deposit on time to 100% of Jan, Mar, May, the amount of the deposit plus $100, instead of just $100.

• It provides a potentially quicker resolution than litigation by hav-

ing tenants serve the landlord a notice to comply in 5 court days or face the penalty. We think this will get more renters their deposits back quicker than litigation because many landlords either forget to return it or don't understand the penalties. This 5 day notice will remind and educate them).

• Currently if no forwarding address is given, landlords have no obligation to return deposits.

This change requires refund even if no address is given, in 30 days.

Must be sent to last known address.

• Allows the tenant to give a correct address on the 5 day notice (if they haven't received it) so they can for sure get their refund or itemized list of deductions.

Improvements for landlords: • It mirrors the fit premises act and city zoning practices by giving a landlord an opportunity to cure (5 days) if they forget to comply or don't understand the law. A lot of landlords, especially those who own the over 100,000 single family homes that are rented in Utah, simply don't know the rules or penalties. This gives them a chance to make right and be educated prior to a penalty.

• Allows landlords to send the deposit to the last known address if we don't have a better one and requires the tenant to give us their new address if they don't get VALLEY, our letter.METRO, ARIZONA • Provides attorney’s fees and court costs to prevailing parties so if you are sued frivolously and win, the tenant must pay your costs.

Rentals in HOA's protections We inserted language in the deposits bill that deal with overzealous boards Jul, Sep, Nov, being too controlling of rentals. We also are working this summer on a bill to prevent HOA's from charging rentals higher fees than they charge

Life is busy. We all know that. Work, family, and other activities take a toll on us and we need to be selective of what we put on our schedule.

One thing that defiantely deserves to be on your schedule is the UAA Fair Housing Conference and Trade Show on April 16th at the South Towne Expo Center. Whether you own one unit or manage 10,000

there is something for you.

Every year I enjoy spending time with over 1,200 other rental housing professionals. There are over 125 vendors and I always make connections with people who can save me money and help streamline my business. The information, giveaways and relationships I pick up are of incredible value.

The Education classes this year will be better than ever. There are over 25 classes, with a variety that

allow everyone to find topics that interest and benefit them. I am particularly excited to hear from Bill Gephart about consumer protection and how to run our rental businesses in ways that enhance the consumer experience. I am looking forward to what he has learned about bad landlords from years of investi-

gations, and how we can avoid being a “bad landlord”.

I hope you will join me at this quality event. Register now.

homeowners. Expect action on that next year. For now, the new law: Housing Authorities abuses - In lieu of legislation to reign in abusive housing authority practices, the housing authorities agreed to hold quarterly meetings with us to review abuses, assure they are following their own policies, and assure their policies do not exceed those required

by HUD. During this year, the housing authorities have asked us to document cases where the agencies or employees are not taking good care of landlords or are violating their own rules. Please notify me of any of the following: 1. Report any problems you are having or have had to with Housing Authorities to the UAA. Email them with specific names (such as tenant, which housing authority and name of caseworker) to paul@

uaahq.org so we can give the housing authorities a chance to make it right or take it to their peers if they don't.

2. Report any tenants you think are still on housing assistance that you have evicted or have a judgment against so the Housing Authority can help hold them accountable.

3. If you have had rent withheld or money billed back to you by a Housing Authority, notify us so we research whether proper procedures were followed.

If we can't solve the problem through communication and regular meetings, we may have to run legislation like Housing Authorities again next year. HB 310 would have allowed landlords to opt out of working with federal housing subsidy programs and allow them to choose which housing authorities they wanted to work with. Utah is one of only a handful states that don't allow landlords to choose whether or not to

work with federal housing subsidy programs like Section 8. Many landlords feel that like doctors (who can opt out of Medicare if they don't want to have to jump through the hoops of the program) we should be able to decide if we want to work with federal housing programs.

Many felt that some housing authorities were abusing them and not following their own rules in implementing the federal program. The bill would have allowed landlords to: a) Refuse to sign the HAP agreement (the government's agreement that modifying a landlords contract) b) Refuse to participate in a government program c) Refuse to work with a specific Housing Authority that treats landlords poorly However, the UAA wanted first to work out a deal to get housing . We hope they make serious efforts to resolve these issues.

Collecting Social Security Numbers on minors and proper storage of sensitive data We were made aware of pending legislation to require landlords to keep social security numbers more secure from the risk of identity theft, and to specify that landlords cannot collect social security numbers on minors. Apparently a legislator heard that landlords were collecting SSN information on minors and that the way landlords are storing personal information was not secure. We have

made a deal with this legislator to: • Reinforce by education that landlords should not collect social security numbers for minors • Encourage all landlords and apartment communities to increase safeguards that protect personal information such as using double locked filing cabinets, never leavening files with personal info on desks, etc.

Please take this issue seriously by carefully guarding Social Security #s and not collecting them from minors so the issue does not come back.

Anti-Discrimination Bill - Senate Bill 100 - The Senate has chosen, because of the pending Supreme Court case on anti-discrimination issues, not to hear any anti-discrimination bills this session. Supporters are trying to break that logjam, but it will be an uphill battle. We remind you the UAA does not support discrimination against people because of sexual orientation or gender identity. We run businesses and only discriminate against people for risk factors. Many UAA members have LGBT tenants who are incredible customers, pay on time and take great care of their places. We encourage you to never consider sexual orientation or gender identity in your decision making - you should judge people on their past record as tenants, credit worthiness as a customer, and ability to comply with contracts.
