The last AASEW Boot Camp was November 12, 2022. It was a successful event where our attendees learned a lot. Please watch for future announcements for the next Boot Camp in 2023!
Who Teaches the AASEW Boot Camp?
The AASEW Boot Camp is taught by Attorney Tristan Pettit, who drafts many of the landlord tenant forms for Wisconsin Legal Blank. Attorney Tristan Pettit has given similar landlord-tenant law seminars to fellow attorneys, landlords, and property manager organizations that charge their members $400-$500. This is your opportunity to learn all of the same information at a huge discount through the Apartment Association.
What's Included with Boot Camp Attendance?
Attendees will receive a 100 plus page manual to help you put what you learn into practice. The manual is now a searchable PDF, which allows you to quickly find the information you need. The completed sample forms will give you confidence you are filing your forms out correctly.
