The Schenectady Rental Property Owners Association went defunct sometime mid-2007. I had been charged with setting up the association’s website, which I did. Got the url, got the webspace, got all the information that was provided at that time and I put it all together. Then the group disappeared.
I have to say that I thought the meeting last night was conducted very well with one exception. A constant interruption by one former member who was able to provide partial facts with a load of innuendo and fallacies. He was obviously not up on this website, having accused me of using the old association name.
And I also have to say that the City of Schenectady is not “normal” when it comes to dealing with residential rental property owners. And its simply because Schenectady in and of itself, attracts the dregs of the planet through its various not-for-profit organizations that insist on “partnering” with the city.
In attendance last night was a representative from SCAP. As I’ve said before, don’t be scapped. The gentleman claimed that the city was not “pro-tenant” and that’s most likely because he is associated with SCAP. I’m not saying that SCAP is a bad thing (it’s certainly not if you are a tenant bent on screwing your landlord), just that if you happen to get sucked into their not-for-profit antics related to tenants, you will be scapped. I was scapped by Judge Loyola who completely ignored the fact that I had a lease and gave my tenants a big time break. So what good is a lease (which is a matter of law by the way) if the judge himself ignores it?
The City of Schenectady is in constant “money grab” mode and they aren’t going to get fines and added fees from those who can’t PAY, they’re going to grab the money from you the landlord. If CDARPO can assist Schenectady Landlords with issues of that nature, I say go for it. It’s a nice group. They have a good newsletter and I think membership would be beneficial for a lot of people.
There seemed to be a good amount of landlords gathered there last night. Good luck to everyone. Here in Schenectady we surely do need it. Thank you to everyone from CDARPO for trying to help us out.
MAY 11 MEETING for SCHENECTADY RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS and MANAGERS
The Capital District Association of Rental Property Owners (CDARPO) invites responsible owners and managers of Schenectady rental property to a meeting on securing better treatment by the City.
CDARPO is a non-profit volunteer association committed to helping landlords throughout the Capital District. Our monthly meetings, newsletters and online help provide opportunities for our members to ask questions, make referrals to service providers, and share experiences and insights with others in the landlord community. In addition to supporting landlords individually, we evaluate and contribute to the political process, ensuring that the rental property owner’s viewpoint is articulated to public officials and decision makers.
Take a look at our website, www.cdarpo.org, for further information.
CDARPO is sponsoring a May 11 meeting to organize responsible landlords (owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied) to secure better treatment by the City for the benefit of all.
The meeting is 7PM on May 11 at the Price Chopper Community Room at 1639 Eastern Parkway (near McClellan St).
