RENT Magazine Q3'25

Welcome to RENT! It’s hard to get through a day without hearing more about artificial intelligence (AI) and how it is taking over the business world. But what exactly is it and how is it relevant to the multifamily industry? In this issue of RENT, we will explain what AI is and how it can be used to make the multifamily industry more efficient. We look at whether it can replace your eviction lawyer, combat application fraud and how it is changing the way you market and manage rentals. We have surveyed 19 real estate industry professionals to learn how they are using artificial intelligence and have added a rundown of books on AI for real estate investors. We also help you manage your money with advice on whether it’s time to sell your rental property and how to prepare for a 1031 exchange. On the tenant side, don’t miss how to protect yourself from the top three move-in scams, utilize dispute resolution and when to employ a rental collection agency. Learn about the danger of door thresholds and how they are impacted by the Fair Housing Act. On the lighter side, discover Athens, GA, in Rental Radar and don’t miss Celebrities on the Move. This issue’s buyers and sellers include well known actors, singers and Wonder Woman. We hope that the rest of the summer brings you good times and great tenants who always pay their rent on time. Happy reading!
