Hello and welcome to Minnesota Landlord Forums. My name is Bradley Sheppey. For 20 years I’ve worked in Minnesota real estate as a licensed real estate broker—attorney, property manager, landlord and city council member today. Landlord compliance with constantly evolving federal, state, and local laws has transformed what was in an annual routine legal check-in into a daily regulatory maze with unclear correct paths forward for good faith landlords and property managers, until now.
At Minnesota Landlord Forms, I’ve created an affordable, easy to use subscription-based platform with pricing packages designed for everyone from first time small landlords to large institutional owners and property managers. Our platform creates a dashboard for each subscriber with access via username, and password.
Once signed in, paid subscribers have unlimited on-demand access to search and watch lesson videos, and download our custom Word doc forms for their own data entry and editing. Subscribers also have access to our matrix, a hyperlink cheat sheet to quickly search and link to content and answers to Common City specific leasing management and buy/sell answers.
In addition, subscribers with legal questions may click from their dashboard to immediately schedule and pay for a limited-scope consultation with Bradley Sheppey of Minnesota Landlord Law, P L L C. We are not a national one size fits all platform. We are based in Minnesota and only work on Minnesota forms and law.
We know regulations in Minnesota and St. Paul are unique, complex, and nothing like other cities in many Minnesota that have little to no city or county regulation of their own on landlord-tenant. Our platform is organized into two categories, residential rental property for houses, duplexes, fourplex, and apartment buildings where people live – and commercial rental property, office, industrial and retail.
Within each property type are three subcategories organized into their own practical subject matter areas: leasing, management, and buying. Leasing focuses on everything up to the physical movement of a tenant and lease commencement, such as rental criteria, background checks, lease language, security deposits, required disclosures move-in tips, and more. Management focuses on the operations during the lease, such as collection and non-payment of rent material, breach of lease, from noise to drugs to unauthorized residents and pets, emotional support, animals start to finish, eviction process, tenant rent, escrow actions, et cetera.
In buy/sell the focus is on checklists. Contracts, disclosures and closing processes specific to buying and selling rental property, which may differ from city to city and from one type of property to another. 2023 is Minnesota Landlord Forms introductory year. We are first launching our Minneapolis in St. Paul residential rental property subscription packages, followed by our generic Minnesota statewide residential rental property subscription package.
Additional subscription packages and content will soon follow. We hope you are enjoying your free trial. Feel free to watch unlimited lessons during this time. If you decide to become a subscriber, you’ll have confidence and peace of mind knowing when you need a quick answer, you have access to your own dashboard to watch a lesson.
Subscriptions also unlock lesson forms not available in the free trial. Lastly below is a one survey question. Please take a moment to click and answer the question of what would be your top issue to solve using this platform. We’re here to develop and create a platform designed for its users in delivering on the needs of our users.
So the more data we have from you, the better that we can continue to curate this Minnesota-based platform for you. Thank you very much. We hope you enjoy Minnesota Landlord Forms.
I’m Bradley Sheppey. Take care.
