Deep dives
The Importance of Advocacy for Property Managers
Advocacy is crucial for property managers in protecting their rights and interests. Tyler Craddock, the lead federal lobbyist from Narphum, has over 20 years of legislative and lobbying experience. He and his team work tirelessly to fight against government interference and regulations that could impact property managers. They focus on issues such as fair housing regulations, notice to vacate, Section 8 reform, and more. By investing in the Narphum PAC and advocacy fund, property managers can support the organization's efforts in electing pro-property management candidates and advocating for their cause.
Challenges in the Property Management Industry
One of the biggest challenges in the property management industry is the growing number of tenant advocacy groups compared to landlord advocacy groups. This creates an imbalance in the legislative landscape, making it crucial for property managers to come together and support organizations like Narphum that fight for their interests. With Narphum's strategic plan, they aim to empower state and local chapters to effectively advocate for property managers, even in states where legislation harmful to their industry is being proposed.
Recent Legislative Priorities
Narphum has been actively working on several legislative priorities to protect property managers' rights and address important issues. One focus is on notice to vacate regulations, ensuring that property managers have the ability to give appropriate notices for eviction. Another priority is Section 8 reform, seeking to make necessary improvements to the program and ensure fair treatment for both property managers and tenants. Additionally, Narphum is involved in addressing issues related to EPA regulations and proposed rules from the Federal Trade Commission regarding fee transparency.
Successes in Advocacy Efforts
Narphum's advocacy efforts have yielded significant results in important areas. They played a crucial role in making PPP loan expenses tax-deductible for property managers, which helped support their businesses during the pandemic. They also worked with HUD to clarify regulations surrounding emotional support animals versus pets and assistance animals, providing necessary guidance to property managers. These successes demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of Narphum's advocacy work in protecting the interests of property managers.
