ABOUT THE EVENT

Let's be honest: the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) can feel like one of those laws everyone knows exists but few people fully understand! That's a problem, because if your community houses service members and their families, getting SCRA wrong can mean real legal exposure, angry residents, and headlines you don't want.

This webinar breaks down SCRA in plain English. No dense legal jargon, no 40-page statute readings; just practical guidance you can actually use when a resident hands you a copy of their deployment orders.

Regulators, military legal assistance offices, and state attorneys general are paying closer attention to how multifamily operators treat military residents. This session gives your team a clear, workable framework so you can handle these situations with confidence instead of crossing your fingers and hoping it works out.

Let's make sure your team is ready—not just compliant on paper, but confident in practice!
