Challenging conversations are an unavoidable part of rental housing, but the right approach can prevent conflict from escalating and protect both your business and your peace of mind. In this engaging one-hour class, Kathryn Shabalov, Property Management Professional, will cover applicable laws, communication strategies, and practical best practices for handling difficult interactions with tenants, contractors, clients, and vendors. Through real-world scenarios and discussion, you’ll learn how to set boundaries, document issues effectively, respond professionally under pressure, and navigate disputes with greater confidence and clarity. The goal is to help property owners and managers reduce stress, improve outcomes, and maintain productive professional relationships.
