Free membership gives you a voice. SMOA Insider status gives you protection.

Small Landlords. Real Protection. Insider Power.

The Small Multifamily & Rental Owners Association (SMOA) is the united voice of DC’s small landlords—defending property rights, preserving Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH), and pushing back against policies that punish responsible owners.

Every landlord can join. Membership is free because every voice matters.

But in today’s regulatory environment, being represented isn’t enough. You also need to be prepared. That’s why serious owners become SMOA Insiders.
