It's Leasing Season -- Is Your Business Protected from Fraud? Webinar

As we stride towards the end of the pandemic, new laws and protections will be necessary to meet today’s fraud challenges. Key takeaways from this webinar will help you protect your property management company against fraud trends that stem from tech advances due to COVID-19 and customer demands, recent legislation on moratoriums and what to expect in 2021. Hosted by Ben Berk, Terry Slattery and Maitri Johnson.
