The Landlords' Business Association (LBA) was started
in 1989 as a result of a local rent review ballot question, which
would have granted the town rent control authority. Our 12 founding
members successfully defeated the ballot by developing a real grassroots
campaign organization. Today the LBA has over 700
members and continues to lobby state and local agencies and officials
for its members.
