MINORITY APARTMENT OWNERS ASSOCIATION

" Celebrating It's 20th Year Anniversary"

WHAT IS THE MINORITY APARTMENT OWNERS ASSOCIATION?

The Minority Apartment Owners Association (MAOA) is a network of minority and non-minority rental property owners who own property throughout Southern California. It was founded in 1987 under the parent company, INTERNATIONAL REALTY & INVESTMENTS



PURPOSE:

Because we do business in an increasingly complicated & regulated environment, everyday brings new laws and regulations telling rental property owners what they can and cannot do. To be successful rental property owners need lawyers, accountants, lobbyist, and trained maintenance experts just to keep up to date and stay in compliance with the many changing laws.

A strong rental housing association is absolutely necessary for rental property owners in today's litigious environment. With several concerns at their forefront, members have an opportunity to participate with others in making certain that their needs are not forgotten in government policy decisions on the local, state, and national level.



WHY SHOULD I JOIN?

Owning rental property is a business and should be operated as a business. But in today's market, owners cannot stand alone. Owning rental property has become an increasingly complicated, regulatory environment and joining with others for statewide rental issues that affect you locally is extremely important.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

There is strength in numbers with other owners that face the same issues that you encounter. The MAOA is a member of the California Housing Providers Coalition (CHPC). Founded in 1995 as the Los Angeles County Coalition of Apartment Associations, the CHPC now includes eights other housing organizations throughout the state. It represents more than 30,000 rental property owners and managers with more than one million units.
