I first started my relationship with the GLAAA in 1997 when we started the Crime Free Multi Housing in Lexington Police Department. The CFMH is a program to keep drugs and illegal activity off of rental property. We also strongly emphasis education and networking through attending the seminar seminar. We host an annual conference once a year for property owners, leasing agents and any person related to rental property business. We work with properties when they need help with narcotic problems or other criminal type problems on their property. We also have correspondence with rental managers whenever they have any request.
