About Us

The Australian Landlords Association Incorporated (ALA) recognises the important role that landlords play in providing rental properties for residential and commercial use. The ALA constitution recognises that all parties involved should treat each other reasonably and respectfully – so much so that this is a condition of membership.

The ALA is aware that individual landlords are not always treated reasonably and respectfully by others, an increasingly important role of the ALA is to be a voice for landlords in these circumstances. Particularly in relation to government policy and media.

In recent years there has been a worrying trend of legislative changes that favour tenants at the expense of landlords, particularly in Victoria during COVID-19 lockdowns. The ALA is increasing its efforts to fight for a fair and transparent property market.

Property investment is a long-term proposition that has some inherit risks. The ALA aims to help keep its members informed of changes in key market factors across Australia.
