Local landlords connected by a statewide voice
The West Virginia Landlords Association brings together rental-property owners, managers, and companies that serve rental housing. Its public mission emphasizes networking, education, ethical business practices, and informed participation in landlord-tenant policy. Mercer County Landlords Association is part of that statewide community.
