To cut through the frightening news surrounding the novel coronavirus, Bisnow will be hosting a free webinar for property managers on how to face a pandemic with a cool head and tackle real-world real estate issues.

Experts from the Institute of Real Estate Management and the National Apartment Association will weigh in on how to craft a strategy for combating the spread of COVID-19. The webinar will cover the pandemic’s current challenges and give property managers advice on how to:

• Keep their businesses — and their tenants’ businesses — up and running.

• Review lease agreements in case of business disruptions.

• Create healthy, hygienic environments.

• Communicate effectively with residents and tenants.
