Preventing unreasonable and costly regulation of the rental housing industry is the primary mission of RHA’s Government Affairs Department. RHA monitors issues affecting rental owners and managers at all three levels of government: local, state and federal. RHA keeps our members informed and involved on critical issues via special alerts, magazine articles and political action events.

Local Issues
RHA advocates before city councils, county boards and other bodies in eight counties within the Sacramento Valley region. Issues such as new ordinances and fees on rental properties are often determined at the local level, where RHA is recognized as the voice of the industry.

State Issues
RHA is a local chapter of the California Apartment Association (CAA), a statewide organization that advocates on behalf of the rental housing industry before the State Legislature, State agencies and regulatory bodies. RHA assists CAA by generating grassroots involvement of its members to influence state legislation and regulatory issues.

Federal Issues
RHA monitors federal issues by working closely with CAA and a national network of other rental housing associations. Many industry regulations are established by federal agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency or Federal Communications Commission.
