National Rental Housing Associations

The number one problem for landlords and tenants is lack of communication. Number two is probably the public perception that tenants are somehow second class citizens relative to homeowners and that landlords are low life that destroy neighborhoods. But as the Minnesota Landowners Right's Association has stated so eloquently: "Scattered voices remain a murmur, united voices become thunder." By organizing and interacting, together with political action, we can change both public perception and the way government treats our industry.
