Welcome to RENT! It’s an understatement to say that the beginning of 2025 has been a little rough. We at AAOA want to express our concern and best wishes for a speedy recovery to everyone in any way impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires or other recent catastrophes around the country. In this issue, we announce the AAOA Awards for distinction in the multifamily industry. The Best of 2024 Awards recognize individuals who have achieved excellence through such fields as writing, podcasting, education, property management and more. We have curated a number of articles about legal issues and technology to help you manage your multifamily business. On the legal side, we present a piece about recovering lost rent from the COVID eviction moratorium, a case study about the high cost of neglecting asset protection, and how to legally handle Section 8 vouchers. We also discuss how to set applicant criteria to avoid Fair Housing Act lawsuits. You’ll not want to miss how to utilize technology to solve this year’s top rental challenges, including how remote landlords can fill vacancies, upgrading your property management software, and how to track expenses online. On the light side, enjoy Celebrities on the Move and learn why Robert Redford, Gwyneth Paltrow and Mike Tyson are buying or selling their homes. Happy reading!
