Support
The Lubbock Apartment Association has several committees
and groups in which members can become active. Any
owner that has 100 or fewer units will want to take
part in the Small Owners’ Council. This group
of individuals meets before our General Membership
Luncheons and discusses topics related to managing
rental units. This is a wonderful informal group,
which can greatly benefit a new owner.
