MyNewPlace is thrilled to announce our newest guest blogger!

Meet Ron Leshnower, who will be sharing an article with us at the beginning of each month.

Ron is the Guide to Apartment Living / Rental for About.com, a part of The New York Times Company, and runs the site’s popular Apartment Living Blog, in which he offers useful tips, information on new developments, and insightful commentary to apartment dwellers.

The author of Every Landlord’s Property Protection Guide: 10 Ways to Cut Your Risk Now(Nolo), Ron has been quoted in The New York Times‘ “Real Estate Q&A” column, The Associated Press’ “Your Money” series, the Real Estate Intelligence Report, Minyanville.com, and the Landlord Law Report, among other publications.

Ron is also the founder and President of Fair Housing Helper, which comprises a family of three Web sites offering training and resources on housing discrimination for multifamily professionals, as well as the Fair Housing Blog, which explores housing discrimination issues that are important, interesting, and relevant but that don’t necessarily get much press.

Before dedicating himself to writing, Ron practiced real estate law at a major New York law firm and has over a decade of experience living as a tenant in the New York and Boston metro areas. In addition to About.com, Ron’s articles have appeared on Nolo.com and in the National Apartment Association’s Units Magazine as well as in several trade newsletters.

In an ongoing effort to provide both the most interesting and comprehensive content to our readers and site visitors, Ron will be an excellent addition to our team!
