WASHINGTON, June 17, 2020 (Newswire.com) –\u00a0<\/strong>A new trade association has been formed to advance the interest of small and independent multifamily owners in the Greater Washington, D.C., region.\u00a0(Multifamilyowners.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The Small Multifamily Owners Association (SMOA) will educate, organize, and service owners of small apartment buildings (four to 50 units) in the District of Columbia and the surrounding suburbs.\u00a0\u201cThe interests and needs of small and independent multifamily owners are very different than the large corporate owners,\u201d said Dean Hunter, the group founder\u00a0and CEO.<\/p>\n

Hunter said the organization\u2019s agenda\u00a0includes education, leveraging purchasing power, and legislative advocacy on behalf of owners. \u201cWe will examine best practices in property management, addressing issues such as energy conservation techniques\u00a0and utilizing technology to lower operating costs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

SMOA will also concentrate on the collective political power of small investors to bring about changes in the legal and regulatory framework. \u201cThe District of Columbia is one of the most anti-landlord jurisdictions in the country, said Hunter. \u201cRent control, tenants’ right to first refusal requirements and increased\u00a0taxes harm small owners in a disproportionate manner,” he said. “There has been plenty of COVID relief for tenants. Where is the help for small landlords?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe combined effect of anti-landlord laws and excessive regulation has made it more difficult for small multifamily owners to see the expected return on their family investment and is harming the ability of minorities to reap the benefits of commercial real estate,” Hunter said. \u201cOften, this is a family\u2019s only investment property. They should not be treated the same as Greystar, a company that owns thousands of units.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter says the organization is dedicated to serving the 3,000 individual small apartment building owners in the District (4-50 units) but will also service small commercial multifamily owners in Arlington, Virginia, and Prince Georges County\u00a0and Montgomery County in Maryland. \u201cWe have to take a regional approach to best practices for small rental owners. Why is the tenant\u2019s right to the first refusal in the sale of a multifamily property so complicated in Washington, D.C., compared to Maryland and Virginia?”<\/p>\n

Hunter is the manager of The Urban Commercial Realty Group, a boutique firm specializing in multifamily and net lease investment sales in the Washington, D.C., region. (Urbancre.org) Hunter is a graduate of American University and Howard University School of Law.<\/p>\n
