Renter Information
The Mississippi Apartment Association (MAA) is a trade organization representing companies that own and manage apartment communities, as well as the businesses that provide products and services to the multifamily industry.
As a professional association, MAA does not manage properties and is therefore unable to handle resident inquiries or resolve individual housing issues.
If you have a concern, we recommend contacting your on-site property manager, the corporate office for your apartment community, or your local housing authority.
For legal matters, please consult an attorney who specializes in landlord–tenant law in Mississippi to ensure you receive guidance specific to your situation. MAA is not qualified to provide legal advice, and nothing on our website—or in conversations with our staff—should be interpreted as legal counsel. If you need legal assistance, we encourage you to reach out to a licensed attorney or seek local legal aid resources that may be available to you.
Looking for an Apartment?
MAA doesn't offer a service to help people find a new home, but many of our members provide that service.
Please see the list below of MAA member companies when looking for an apartment in Mississippi.
What is the Mississippi Apartment Association (MAA), and what do you do?
The Mississippi Apartment Association (MAA) is a trade organization dedicated to representing the multifamily housing industry across the state. Our membership includes apartment property owners, management companies, developers, and suppliers who support the rental housing industry.
MAA focuses on advocacy, education, and communication to support the success and professionalism of the industry.
Are all apartment communities in Mississippi required to be members of MAA?
No, MAA membership is voluntary. Apartment communities are typically affiliated through the membership of their ownership or management company. Many professionally managed apartment communities in Mississippi choose to join MAA because of their commitment to providing quality rental housing.
