Supporting a Strong and Sustainable Rental Housing Industry
State legislation and local regulations play an important role in shaping Wisconsin's rental housing industry. The Apartment Owners and Managers Association of Wisconsin (AOMA) recognizes the importance of keeping housing professionals informed about policy developments that affect apartment communities and property operations.
From landlord-tenant regulations to housing development and local government decisions, AOMA supports informed discussion about policies affecting Wisconsin's multifamily housing community.
