Dealing with difficult tenants

The aim of this online session is to support landlords deal with conflict that can arise during a tenancy.

Description

The aim of this online session is to support landlords deal with conflict that can arise during a tenancy.

Being a landlord requires many skills, some of which are more straight forward than others. Dealing with difficult situations that can occur during a tenancy is less straightforward and can be a challenge for landlords who are often managing this on their own. We will look at how matters can escalate and examine how skills and techniques used in mediation can be of real help.

Topics explored in this session:

  • Understanding how conflict can arise
  • Effective communication
  • Introduction to mediation

At the end, you will be able to:

  • recognise situations where conflict could arise
  • use mediation tools to de-escalate conflict
  • understand how to access mediation should you need to.

It is a 2 hour session (with a break) and thus is excellent value for money.

You may not be experiencing this situation at present, but attending will ensure you have the skills needed should it arise in the future.
