residents association

Local homeowners' organization

A residents association is an organized group of people living in a particular area—typically an apartment complex, housing development, or neighborhood—who meet to address shared concerns.

These groups handle issues like maintenance, security, community rules, and disputes between neighbors.

The residents association voted to install new lighting in the parking garage.

Also called a residents' association or homeowners association, though the latter usually implies property ownership.
