BARHA offers education and training opportunities so you can stay informed about current management practices and laws. Some past seminars have included topics on Legal Issues, Leasing Techniques, Fair Housing, Mold, Management Education and Lead Based Paint to mention a few.

BARHA shares valuable industry information and you will gain very helpful insights from your interaction with other property owners and managers. BARHA’s monthly lunch meetings have over 100 people in attendance – a testament to the value members find in being a part of BARHA.

BARHA monitors local elections and provides rental housing related information to members so that they can make informed decisions when voting.  

You will have access to BARHA’s court tested lease and other essential forms you need to operate your property in the best possible manner and in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

You become part of a strong political advocacy group supporting our industry. Some of our successes are:

 - Defeating a proposal to create a rental licensing and inspection program in Longmont

 - Reinstating email notifications of warnings for Weeds and Trash tickets as well as creating more transparency about the practice of resetting the fine schedule every August or upon lease renewal.

 - Protecting the classification of multifamily residential properties as “residential” for property tax purposes rather than as a “commercial” tax classification. This important tax success has saved every multifamily property owner tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes.

 - Developing a greatly improved and more cost effective Rental Inspection Program with the City of Boulder.

 - Changing the requirement of paying a fixed rate of interest on security deposits to a variable rate interest that is based on actual market conditions and is readjusted annually. This permanent change has already saved Owners significant money and will continue to be a fairer system for years to come.

 - Removing the "one hour rule" for towing and creating a phase in period for towing signage.
