2022 Candidate Survey

Property Management Association of Michigan (PMAM) Candidate Questionnaire The Property Management Association of Michigan is the statewide association for the multi-family housing industry. Our membership which, consists of several regional chapters, including the Washtenaw Area, West Michigan, Metropolitan Detroit, and Mid-Michigan chapters, provide homes for over 188,000 Michigan families and voters.
