The City of Topeka is partnering with the Shawnee County Landlord’s Association and Housing and Credit Counseling Inc. to hold the first ever Topeka Landlord Expo. The Landlord Expo will take place on Saturday, October 27th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Downtown Ramada Hotel & Convention Center.
The first annual Topeka Landlord Expo will be the most informative Landlord Expo in the Midwest with over 80 exhibitors and several training sessions throughout the day. The expo will provide a platform for property investors to seek advice, guidance and tools necessary to succeed in the development and management of their commercial and residential rental properties.
“The City of Topeka wants to provide landlords with the advice, tools and knowledge that they need to be successful in our community,” said Neighborhood Relations Director Sasha Haehn. “The Expo is perfect for all landlords, whether you are a first time landlord, established landlord, agent, property investor or thinking about entering the private rental market.”
Workshops for residential landlords will include fair housing and best practices. Workshops for commercial landlords will include the neighborhood revitalization program, housing tax credits program, city economic development incentives and Topeka Police Department safety precautionary tips.
“The Shawnee County Landlords Association is very excited to see the City of Topeka taking the initiative to open the communications with the landlords in the community,” said Bette Allen, President of the Shawnee County Landlord Association. “We have found that it is easier to work together when everyone is on the same page. This event will open the door for a better understanding of the issues and concerns about rental properties throughout the city.”
The Landlord Expo will have free entry, free information, free parking and complementary tea or coffee.
