WELCOME TO CDARPO!!

The Capital District Association of Rental Property Owners (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 our landlord colleagues, we evaluate and contribute to the political process, ensuring that the rental property owner's viewpoint is articulated to public officials and decision makers.

15-minute refreshment break that follows provides an opportunity to network with people that speak "Landlording" as a second language.
Presentations, (of not more than half hour each), are next.

March 2010 Newsletter

CLICK HERE to view this month's newsletter!

We have a GREAT March meeting on tap:

Glenn Bartley from Grossman's Bargain Outlet will give a brief presentation about their Landlord Program's discounts. He usually brings door prizes so make sure you're on time!

Christie Ray-Marchetti, the Outreach Manager of the Cancer Services Program of Albany County will give a brief presentation about free cancer services available to the uninsured. Although Christie covers Albany County, contact information for other counties will be available as well. She will bring fliers and information packets for us to distribute to our tenants.

Jeff Anderson, the Rensselaer County Criminal Justice Coordinator, will speak to us about Rennselaer County's Re-entry Task Force, and the potential advantages and disadvantages of renting to people who have been recently released from jail.
With more than 1,000 people returning to the Capital District from state custody each year, it would benefit landlords to understand a little about modern prisoner reentry efforts.

It's sure to be a great meeting, see you there!
