The first Topeka Landlord Expo will feature more than 80 exhibitors and training sessions throughout the day, designed to educate landlords about doing business in the capital city.

“The city of Topeka wants to provide landlords with the advice, tools and knowledge that they need to be successful in our community,” said neighborhood relations director Sasha Haehn. “The expo is perfect for all landlords, whether you are a first-time landlord, established landlord, agent, property investor or thinking about entering the private rental market.”

The city partnered with the Shawnee County Landlord’s Association and Housing and Credit Counseling Inc. to organize the event. The expo will provide a platform for property investors to seek advice, guidance and tools necessary to succeed in the development and management of their commercial and residential rental properties, city officials said in a news release.
