About Pennsylvania Apartment Association

The Pennsylvania Apartment Association (PAA) is a statewide nonprofit trade association that represents apartment owners, property management companies, and supplier partners serving the multifamily rental housing industry in Pennsylvania. Headquartered in Bala Cynwyd, PAA provides advocacy, education, networking, and industry resources to help members operate and maintain quality rental communities. It is affiliated with the National Apartment Association and regularly hosts conferences, trade shows, certifications, and professional development programs for rental housing professionals.

A charge from the Pennsylvania Apartment Association will typically appear when a member or attendee pays for association-related services such as annual membership dues, event registrations (like conferences, trade shows, or networking events), educational courses and certifications, sponsorships, or advertising. Charges may also include fees for political action committee (PAC) fundraising events or other special programs. The association explicitly notes that it adds a credit card administrative fee (currently 4%) on all credit card transactions, so statement amounts may appear slightly higher than the base registration or dues price.

If you have questions about a Pennsylvania Apartment Association charge, start by checking your email for a receipt from "Pennsylvania Apartment Association" or an address @paahq.com, as well as your PAA online account if your company is a member. Compare the transaction date and amount with recent event registrations, membership renewals, or course enrollments, which are commonly processed via credit card. If you still do not recognize the charge, you can contact PAA directly using the phone number, mailing address, or contact form listed on their website; have your card’s last four digits, the date, and the exact amount of the charge ready so staff can look up the transaction. As with any unfamiliar charge, you may also ask your property management or accounting department if they registered on behalf of your company before disputing it with your bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from the Pennsylvania Apartment Association on my card?

Check recent registrations or invoices from PAA, especially around the transaction date, to confirm what was purchased.

Does the Pennsylvania Apartment Association add any extra fees to credit card payments?

What are common amounts for Pennsylvania Apartment Association charges?

Common Pennsylvania Apartment Association charges include membership dues (often in the hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on portfolio size), registration fees for conferences or the APARTogether EXPO, and fees for credential courses like CAM or other education programs.

How can I verify what my Pennsylvania Apartment Association charge was for?

Log into your account on paahq.com (or your company’s PAA member portal) and review your recent invoices, event registrations, and education enrollments. You should also search your email for receipts or confirmations from info@paahq.com or membership@paahq.com. If you still can’t identify the charge, contact PAA by phone or through the contact form on their website with the date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look it up. ([paahq.com](https://www.paahq.com/contact-us?utm_source=openai))

Is the Pennsylvania Apartment Association charge a recurring subscription or a one-time fee?

Most Pennsylvania Apartment Association charges are one-time payments tied to specific items such as annual dues, single event registrations, or individual education courses. However, membership dues may be billed on a recurring annual schedule, and companies sometimes keep a card on file for renewals. Check your PAA invoices to see whether your organization is set up for automatic annual renewal.

How do I cancel or change my Pennsylvania Apartment Association membership to avoid future charges?

To change or cancel a PAA membership, you or your company’s primary contact should reach out directly to the Pennsylvania Apartment Association—typically via the membership contacts listed on paahq.com or by calling their main office. Ask about your renewal date, notice requirements, and whether your account is set to auto-renew. Make sure any cancellation or downgrade is confirmed in writing before your next renewal cycle.

How do I request a refund from the Pennsylvania Apartment Association for an event or course I can’t attend?

Refunds are handled according to PAA’s participant cancellation and event policies, which are outlined on their website and registration materials. If you need a refund or credit, contact PAA as soon as possible with your registration details—event name, date, attendee name, and payment information—so staff can advise whether a refund, credit, or substitution is allowed. ([paahq.com](https://www.paahq.com/contact-us?utm_source=openai))

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Pennsylvania Apartment Association charge at all?

First, verify internally whether anyone at your company (such as a property manager, regional manager, or accounting staff) registered for a PAA event or renewed membership using your card. If no one claims the transaction and PAA cannot locate a matching record when you contact them, follow your bank’s procedures to dispute the charge or request a new card, as your number may have been used in error or fraudulently.
