From Staff Reports
In an effort to reduce illegal activities and nuisances on rental properties in Alcoa, the Alcoa Police Department is holding a "landlord meeting" for landlords, property owners and property managers today.
Holly Hatcher, director of community policing for Alcoa Police Department, said the meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Public Safety Building, Alcoa Police Department Courtroom, 2020 N. Wright Road.
The purpose of the meeting is to make sure landlords, property owners and property managers are taking responsibility for activities that are occurring on their rental property and "to hopefully screen possible tenants adequately" in the future.
Hatcher said the following topics are on the agenda for discussion at the meeting: drug violations and prostitution in rental homes, the responsibility of property owners within current state laws and city ordinances, stopping unlawful activity and nuisances, the benefits of cooperation and the consequences for noncooperation.
Hatcher said that the police department is asking all landlords of Alcoa rental properties to attend. She asked that they RSVP by calling her at 380-4952. Callers who receive a recording should leave a message.
