Why Attend the Landlord Compact

What is the landlord compact?

Starting in the early 90’s landlords in the near west side have come together monthly to discuss issues, problems and trends. The meetings not only include property owners, landlords and management companies but also the Milwaukee Police Department, Community Prosecution Unit, and many other stakeholders who are involved in the improvement. Kent Cory, co-chair of the Near West Side Landlord Compact talks about the role of the compact in the video below.

The NWSLLC is like a neighborhood association for property owners. With bigger properties and greater numebr of people living in these buildings, the scope of the issues tends to be increased as well.
