About AAKC

The Apartment Association of Kansas City was established in 1974 to serve the apartment industry along with the National Apartment Association and the Kansas and Missouri associations. Together we provide legislative insight on a local, state and national level. We serve 583 members with over 52,023 units, which consist of apartment property owners, developers, managers and member communities. Also included are 201 Supplier Partners who provide products and services to our industry.

Together, our members contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to the state’s economy through taxes, fees, construction and purchases from advertising to utilities.

Our association supports the Kansas and Missouri Fair Housing Law, the Kansas and Missouri Landlord Tenant Act and the Multi Housing Crime Prevention Programs; this is a cooperative effort by local police departments and a growing number of apartment communities who are making rental housing safer for residents.

Richard C. Wiles is our state lobbyist in Missouri. Mr. Wiles keeps members in the state informed of issues brought before the legislature, which will affect property owners throughout the state. In Kansas, we watch out through our NAA affiliates and our NAA Legislative Committee keeping owners up to date on any legislative issues.

By joining the AAKC, you help to keep the industry vital. Your dues ensure a strong voice in local and state government and help provide educational programs, which serve to keep high levels of professionalism within the rental housing industry. By joining AAKC, you become a positive force in the growth and prosperity of multi-housing in Missouri and Kansas.
