Resident Frequently Asked Questions
I am a resident at an apartment community. Can you help me with an issue/complaint and can you give me a copy of my lease?
The Atlanta Apartment Association is a trade organization for companies that own and manage apartment communities and affiliated companies that provide products or services to the apartment industry. We are unable to answer questions from residents or respond to any inquiries. If you are having a legal issue, we recommend you contact an attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law in Georgia. While you are entitled to a copy of your lease, we do not have copies, and you will need to ask your apartment community for a copy if you did not receive one when you signed it originally.
What is the Atlanta Apartment Association (AAA) and what do you do?
The AAA is a trade association founded in 1975 to represent the multifamily housing industry in the Metro Atlanta area representing professionals in the multifamily rental industry. The membership includes apartment property owners, management companies, independent rental property owners (less than 100 units), developers and suppliers to the industry. Our focus is legislation, education and communication for the industry.
Are all apartment communities in Atlanta required to be members of AAA?
AAA membership is voluntary. Apartment communities are affiliated through the membership of their owner/manager. Most professionally managed apartment homes in metro Atlanta are currently members, and are dedicated to providing quality rental housing.
How do I join the AAA? Who can be a member?
Membership in the Atlanta Apartment Association is open to companies that own, manage or develop multifamily rental housing, as well as those businesses that provide products and/or services to the industry. You can use the "How to Join" link under the membership menu on the home page and learn more about the benefits of becoming a member of the AAA.
