Serving landlords across California since 1977 with legal forms, tenant screening, education, and real advocacy.
Founded in 1977, the Apartment Owners Association has spent nearly five decades doing one thing exceptionally well: giving California rental property owners the tools, knowledge, and political muscle they need to operate with confidence. With more than 20,000 members statewide, AOA is the largest apartment association in California, and the Los Angeles branch on Wilshire Boulevard is where that mission gets personal.
Call on a random Friday and you might reach an advisor who walks you through a complex eviction question step by step, or helps you verify income for a self-employed rental applicant. That level of hands-on guidance is what separates AOA from a simple trade group. Members consistently describe the staff as patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping landlords navigate an increasingly complicated regulatory environment.
From monthly print and digital publications to live-stream webinars and annual trade shows, AOA keeps its members informed and connected. Whether you own one unit or an entire portfolio, the association's low-cost model means professional-grade resources are never out of reach.
AOA's membership delivers a full stack of resources built specifically around the realities of California landlording. Start with tenant screening: credit reports, eviction history, and income verification tools designed to help you place qualified residents. Pair that with a library of free legal and landlord forms drafted for California law, and you have a foundation most solo landlords could never assemble on their own.
Beyond the paperwork, members gain access to property management software, debt collection services, group insurance programs, and a vetted network of contractor and vendor referrals. Educational seminars, live-stream webinars, and trade shows keep you current on the regulations and market shifts that affect your bottom line.
AOA also operates a political action arm that monitors and advocates on rental housing legislation across California, so your interests are represented in Sacramento even when you can't be. Vendors and service providers can reach the membership through advertising opportunities, making AOA a true ecosystem for everyone in the rental housing industry.
