About Us

The Apartment Association of Greater Augusta is a 501(c)6 nonprofit trade association that represents the multifamily industry for the city of Augusta and its surrounding areas. Founded in 1973, the AAGA is dedicated to advancing the multifamily housing industry. The AAGA is an affiliate of the National Apartment Association (NAA) and the Georgia Apartment Association (GAA).

Our organization is volunteer-driven, with many opportunities to get involved and make a difference in the local multifamily industry. The Board of Directors oversees the activities of the organization to ensure they advance our mission. The mission of AAGA is to promote the professional growth and success of members through education, networking opportunities, and community involvement. Committees are a vital part of the organization and the primary way to get involved.

We host quarterly membership meetings, monthly education seminars, and events such as our annual Trade Show, Maintenance Mania, the Tee Off Fore Tatas Golf Tournament, in addition to various networking events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I am a resident of an apartment community. Can you help me with an issue/complaint and can you give me a copy of my lease?
​The Apartment Association of Greater Augusta is a trade organization for companies that own and manage apartment communities and affiliated companies that provide products or services to the apartment industry.

We are unable to answer questions from residents or respond to any inquiries. If you are having a legal issue, we recommend you contact an attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law in Georgia. While you are entitled to a copy of your lease, we do not have copies, and you will need to ask your apartment community for a copy if you did not receive one when you signed it originally.

Q. How many members are in the association?
Currently, we have over 150 members, including Owner/Manager members and Associate Members. There are over 130 properties (represented by 50+ management companies) belonging to AAGA. These properties manage over 20,000 apartment homes in the area.

Q. I've requested a password reset, but I'm not receiving an email. Can you assist?

First, have you created your account on the new website? If your account hasn't been created, it doesn't know what password to reset, so it can't send an email. You might need to "Create an Account" instead. Second, are you using the correct username? We suggest using an individual email just in case your work email changes, since your profile stays with you, no matter where you work. With that in mind, did you setup your account with a different username? If neither of these options applies, please contact us!
