We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at the Somerset Trust Community Room at 116 Market Street at 7:00 pm

 

Thanks to Rob Bantly from Bantly Hardware for showing our members how to fix a copper pipe without solder, change a lock in 10 seconds, and avoid messy wax rings when changing a toilet. Visit Bantly Hardware on Von Lunen Road to find out how.
 
The GJLA welcomed Angela Gorzelsky from the Johnstown Credit Bureau in May. Her presentation dealt with credit reports, the Tenant Database and collecting on judgments and past due rent. When you join the GJLA you are automatically a member of the Johnstown Credit Bureau. And now credit reports for a single person are just $6! Members can get a packet of information and forms at our next meeting.
 
On May 9th Senator Wozniak spoke during a special luncheon. He discussed current legislation of interest to our members and the GJLA looks forward to working with him to draft new legislation to balance some of the inequities of the Landlord Tenant Act.

 

 

In April attorney David Raho discussed the new GJLA lease.

 

In March the GJLA welcomed District Justice Rick Varner from Salix. His highly informative presentation featured the procedures to evict tenants, dealing with abandonment, sheriff sales, and the different ways District Justices run their offices. Any landlord or property manager should attend our next meeting to receive a packet of documents prepared by Magistrate Varner about Landlord Tenant complaints.

 

 

We meet every month since you are a landlord every month.

  

 

Make the next meeting your first one. No problem or question is too small or simple. Take advantage of the knowledge gained by others so you do not have to re-invent the wheel.
