The Jackson Area Landlords Association was formed in 1974 in direct response
the the needs of Landlords in Jackson County, Michigan and surrounding areas.
Because of statutory changes enacted by the state legislature which
sometimes favored Tenants Rights over those of property owners combined
with other factors at the Federal, State and local levels, it became
apparent that Landlords and Property Managers needed to speak as one.
Thus was born JALA to provide one unified voice when
it came to interfacing with legislators, city councils,
zoning boards, building inspectors, the Family Independence Agency,
District Judges and the local court staff.
We have evolved through the years and many members have been with us
for long periods. We changed our name to The Jackson Area Rental Property
Owners Association (JARPOA) for a period of years during which the forces of
Political Correctness were popular. We returned to our original name and
acronym (JALA) when the word "Landlord" lost its stigma. So here we are,
ready to provide the support we all need in carrying out our business.
We hope you participate fully and enjoy your term with us.
