Who we are

At the Tennessee Apartment Association, we are dedicated to supporting and advancing the rental housing industry across Tennessee. Our members include apartment communities, property management companies, housing professionals, and industry partners who work together to provide quality housing for residents throughout the state.

TNAA is comprised of five affiliate associations that work together to unify the multifamily housing industry in Tennessee. 

• Apartment Association of Greater Knoxville
• Apartment Association of Greater Memphis
• Chattanooga Apartment Association
• Greater Nashville Apartment Association 
• Tri - City Apartment Association

We believe strong communities begin with strong housing. Through advocacy, collaboration, and communication, we serve as a trusted voice for the rental housing industry while helping our members stay informed, connected, and equipped for success.

Our mission is to serve and promote the Tennessee rental housing industry through advocacy, collaboration, and communication. We advocate for policies that support responsible housing providers, foster meaningful partnerships within the industry, and create opportunities for education, networking, and professional growth.

Whether supporting property owners, management professionals, suppliers, or residents, the Tennessee Apartment Association is committed to strengthening the future of rental housing in Tennessee.
