Real Estate Legal Tip of the Week
MANAGING BROKER'S SERIES - BUSINESS
ADDRESS
TREC Rule 1260-2-.05 prohibits the use
of a P.O. Box as the sole business
address for a real estate brokerage
firm. A physical address must be used
instead. You may, however, include a
P.O. Box in a business address for the
purpose of receiving mail.
CORE Class
Section G. Education Requirement from
TREC Manual
The “Core Course” is a specific 4
hour course designated by the
“Commission” which is required to be
taken by licensees who must complete the
16 hours continuing education
requirement. Licensees should
remember that a failure to complete
the “Core Course” will prevent renewal
of the license even if the licensee
completes a total of 16 hours of
education.
THDA Info.
Tennessee Housing Development Agency
(THDA) is developing a database of all
rental housing in Tennessee. It is
functional now and 15,000 searches were
made in May. The site is not targeted
for assisted housing, or affordable
housing, but is open to all rental
housing. We’d like to see apartment
complexes, single family homes, and
duplexes. We’d like participation by
large corporations and families with one
rental unit.
Our goal is two-fold: to make it easier
for property owners and residents to
make connections and for persons
suddenly in need of rental housing to be
assisted quickly. We experienced a
surge of people in Tennessee when
Hurricanes Rita and Katrina hit our Gulf
Coast. THDA, the state’s housing
resource, was limited in its ability to
help.
It’s important to note the site is free,
free to property owners and free to
searchers. It is an on-line resource,
but the information telephone number,
1-877-428-8844, reaches a call center
where staff can assist a property owner,
and accept a renter’s requirements and
mail the search results. The call
center is staffed by English and
Spanish-speaking operators. The site
can be presented in Spanish, too.
The web-based function is what makes the
site so current. There’s no waiting for
printing. Changes can be made on the
property owner’s schedule. Notes about
school districts and proximity to retail
centers can be added. Pet and deposit
references are easy to include. Maps
can be displayed to show several
properties in reference to each other to
help with the on-site visits. Pictures
of the property are encouraged.
One benefit of particular note for
property owners is that once a property
is added to the database it can be
marked “leased” and it will not appear
when a potential renter makes a search.
The property owner does not have to
delete and re-key as properties are
rented and become available again.
THDA is working to market the site, to
the first-line partners – property
owners and tenants, but also to the
public at large. Nearly everyone gets
asked over time “Where’s a good place to
live?” Parents are sending offspring
into the world, and young couples are
starting on their own. Employment
changes bring new people to town for a
short-term or permanently. This site
should be an asset to owners and
seekers.
