What We’re Working On
•
AAGIE is currently working with the City of Rancho Cucamonga to create a voluntary smoke free recognition program for multi unit housing communities in Rancho Cucamonga who choose to go smoke free.
• AAGIE also is working to keep track of your concerns with inspection ordinances that have passed. We will work with the respective cities to make sure the inspection process is fair and does not violate any California laws.
Help AAGIE track local ordinances and resolutions in your city! If you learn of proposed legislation of concern, please call AAGIE Public Affairs and let us know so we can advocate for you!

As a member of the Apartment Association Greater Inland Empire, you will have an advocate on your team to fight for your rights as a rental housing owner.
AAGIE works hard tracking the latest ordinances affecting the rental housing industry in cities throughout the Inland Empire. Through the use of newspapers,
press releases, and monitoring city council agendas, AAGIE Government Affairs keeps up to date in more than 60 cities.
AAGIE has worked hard to create a comprehensive list of cities served and the ordinances each city has regarding
rental housing. Please refer to the green insert box at right for an update.
You can keep track of all the legislative activities through the AAGIE magazine or here on the website!
What We’ve Done
• In Rancho Cucamonga, AAGIE worked to stop a proposed smoke free ordinance that would have mandated rental property units and common areas in multi unit housing communities are smoke free. AAGIE staff suggested the City take a voluntary approach to promoting a smoke free environment rather than a mandate and was successful.
• AAGIE informed the Hi-Desert Water District Board of Directors that a proposed ordinance to hold rental property owners responsible for the delinquent bills of their former tenants is illegal. The Hi-Desert Water District Board of Directors voted against going forward with the proposed ordinance.
• In Loma Linda, AAGIE worked to stop a fee-based inspection ordinance from passing. AAGIE spoke with the city council and helped them understand why the ordinance was unnecessary. AAGIE was successful in stopping the ordinance.
Firestorm 2007
In October 2007, Southern California was devastated by enormous wildfires in all five counties. AAGIE, along with the other Southern California CAA
chapters, came together to create a list of members who were willing to offer special concessions to families who had lost their homes.
Some members offered a waived security deposit, short term leases, waived application fees, reduced rent, and even 6 months free rent.
The efforts garnered media attention as many families were in desperate need. Watch the video at right to see how AAGIE helped families seek housing in difficult times.
Each of the chapters, Apartment Association Greater Inland Empire, South Coast Apartment Association, San Diego County Apartment Association, and CAA Los Angeles, received
a humanitarian award from the California Apartment Association for their dedication to improving lives.
