About Us

The Landlords of Linn County is a group of apartment owners and managers organized to:

Improve the management skills and abilities of its members so each can become a better and more efficient landlord.
Inform members of local and state legislation affecting rental properties and take action to cause that legislation to be approved or disapproved depending on its impact on rental properties.
Exchange information so that each of us can:
1. Reduce or maintain expenses
2. Reduce our vacancy rates
3. Reduce our tenant turnover rates
4. Improve out tenant relations
5. Reduce our legal problems and exposures
