The North Texas Rental Properties Association (NTRPA) has been in existence since March 24, 1977 when it was granted a charter by the National Apartment Association (NAA) through the efforts of Nathan Brown and Henry Dvorken. We are an affiliate of the Texas Apartment Association (TAA) as well as NAA. We are composed of owners, managers and suppliers of rental property in eleven (11) counties in North Texas. Our territory includes the counties of Archer, Baylor, Clay, Foard, Hardeman, Knox, Montague, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger and Young. As an affiliate of TAA we are part of a state organization of 26 local chapters representing single family houses, duplexes, tri-plexes, four-plexes and multi-family properties thourghout North Texas. Our membership meets monthly for a luncheon meeting where members interact with each other, exchanging ideas, methods for dealing with problems and networking. We have informative speakers who are knowledgable about our industry, city leaders and legal representatives who keep us updated on local laws and regulations pertinent to the rental housing industry, as well as state and national developments. Product/Service Suppliers are a very important part of our membership through service and products that are needed in our industry
