The Rental
Housing Association of Berkshire County
(RHABC) is a group of landlords and
associates from around the county. The
number of units a landlord owns is not a
factor in the association. Typically, they
own anywhere form 1 to 100
apartments. The organization is run by
member volunteers who donate their time to
support your rights. –Additional volunteers
are always welcomed.
Members have access to the member only
section of the website where they can list
their rental units for free. The website is
advertised DAILY in the local circulations
and ads are paid for by the association. The
website is continually evolving with new
