ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
AIMCO
 
     AIMCO's Charter limits the liability of AIMCO's directors and officers to
AIMCO and its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by
Maryland law. Maryland law presently permits the liability of directors and
officers to a corporation or its stockholders for money damages to be limited,
except (i) to the extent that it is proved that the director or officer actually
received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services for the
amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually
received, or (ii) if a judgment or other final adjudication is entered in a
proceeding based on a finding that the director's or officer's action, or
failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was
material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. This provision
does not limit the ability of AIMCO or its stockholders to obtain other relief,
such as an injunction or rescission.
 
     AIMCO's Charter and Bylaws require AIMCO to indemnify its directors,
officers and certain other parties to the fullest extent permitted from time to
time by Maryland law. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its directors,
officers and certain other parties against judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with
any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service to
or at the request of the corporation, unless it is established that (i) the act
or omission of the indemnified party was material to the matter giving rise to
the proceeding and (x) was committed in bad faith or (y) was the result of
active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the indemnified party actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case
of any criminal proceeding, the indemnified party had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Indemnification may be made
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding;
provided, however, that if the proceeding is one by or in the right of the
corporation, indemnification may not be made with respect to any proceeding in
which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
In addition, a director or officer may not be indemnified with respect to any
proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director or officer in
which the director or officer was adjudged to be liable on the basis that
personal benefit was improperly received. The termination of any proceeding by
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of
any order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that
the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required
for indemnification to be permitted. It is the position of the Commission that
indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act is against public policy and is unenforceable pursuant to Section
14 of the Securities Act.
 
     AIMCO has entered into agreements with certain of its officers, pursuant to
which AIMCO has agreed to indemnify such officers to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.
 
THE AIMCO OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
 
     The AIMCO Operating Partnership Agreement requires the AIMCO Operating
Partnership to indemnify its directors and officers (each an "Indemnitee") to
the fullest extent authorized by applicable law against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without
limitation, attorney's fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments,
fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,
actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
that relate to the operations of the AIMCO Operating Partnership. Such
indemnification continues after the Indemnitee ceases to be a director or
officer. The right to indemnification includes the right to be paid by the AIMCO
Operating Partnership the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in
advance of its final disposition upon the delivery of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3
 
advanced if a final judicial decision is rendered that such Indemnitee did not
meet the standard of conduct permitting indemnification under the AIMCO
Operating Partnership Agreement or applicable law.
 
     The Partnership maintains insurance, at its expense, to protect against any
liability or loss, regardless of whether any director or officer is entitled to
indemnification under the AIMCO Operating Partnership Agreement or applicable
law.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     (a) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
 
          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
             (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
 
             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
        the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
        dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
        maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
        with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
        changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
        maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
        Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
 
             (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
        or any material change to such information in the registration
        statement;
 
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
     any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.
 
     (b) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
filing of the registrants' annual reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
 
                                      II-9
<PAGE>   11
 
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
 
     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
 
     (d) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the

                           AIMCO Properties, L.P.
                           Registration Statement on Form S-4 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as special counsel to AIMCO Properties, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), in connection with the
preparation of the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form
S-4 (File No. 333-60355), filed by the Partnership and Apartment Investment and
Management Company, a Maryland corporation ("AIMCO"), with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

                  The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale
from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations of
the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), of (i) up to $200,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of
Partnership Common Units (the "Common Units") of the Partnership, and (ii) up to
$200,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of Partnership Preferred Units
(the "Preferred Units" and, together with the Common Units, the "Securities") of
the Partnership. The Securities include Common Units and Class Two Partnership
Preferred Units of the Partnership to be issued in exchange offers (the
"Exchange Offers") described in Prospectus Supplements filed as a part of the
Registration Statement.

                  This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the
requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the
Securities Act.

                  In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or
copies (including facsimile transmissions), certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Agreement of
Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"); (iii) the
Partnership Unit Designation relating to the Class Two Partnership Preferred
Units; (iv) the Certificate of Incorporation of AIMCO-GP, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner");
(v) the By-laws of the General Partner; and (vi) certain resolutions adopted by
the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the "Board Resolutions"),
relating to the issuance and sale, on a delayed or continuous basis, of the
Securities and related matters. We have also examined originals or copies
(including facsimile transmissions), certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such records of the Partnership and the General Partner, and
such agreements, certificates or records of public officials, certificates of
officers or other representatives of the Partnership, the General Partner and
others, and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.

                  In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all
natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic or facsimile
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our
examination of documents executed or to be executed by parties other than the
Partnership or the General Partner, we have assumed that such parties had or
will have, as the case may be, the power, corporate or other, to enter into and
perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization
by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such
parties of such documents and the validity, enforceability and binding effect
thereof. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were
not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written
statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the
Partnership, the General Partner and others.


                  In rendering the opinions set forth in opinion paragraphs 2
and 3 below, we have further assumed that the issuance of the Securities does
not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a breach of or default
under (i) any agreement or instrument to which the Partnership, the General
Partner or any of their assets is subject (excluding the Partnership
Agreement), (ii) any law, rule, or regulation to which the Partnership, the
General Partner, or any of their assets is subject (other than Delaware
corporate or partnership law), (iii) any judicial or regulatory order or 
decree

of any governmental authority, or (iv) any consent, approval, license,
authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with any
governmental authority.

                  Members of our firm are admitted to the Bar in the State of
Delaware and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Revised Uniform
Limited Partnership Act and the laws of the United States of America to the
extent referred to specifically herein. The Securities may be issued from time
to time on a delayed or continuous basis, and this opinion is limited to such
laws, including the rules and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof.

                  We further assume that the issuance, sale, amount, and terms
of the Securities (other than pursuant to the Exchange Offers) has been or will
be authorized and determined by proper action of the Board of Directors of the
General Partner, and in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and applicable
law.

                  Based upon and subject to the foregoing and to the other
qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

                  (1) The Common Units and the Class Two Partnership Preferred
         Units, when issued and sold pursuant to the Exchange Offers, will be
         validly issued and will not subject the holders thereof to any
         requirement to make further capital contributions to the Partnership.

                  (2) Upon payment of the consideration and satisfaction of the
         terms and conditions established by the General Partner for the
         issuance thereof, the Common Units (except Common Units issued and sold
         pursuant to the Exchange Offers) will be validly issued.

                  (3) Upon the due authorization and establishment of any
         additional class or series of Preferred Units by the General Partner
         in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and applicable law, and
         upon payment of the consideration and satisfaction of the terms and
         conditions established by the General Partner for the issuance
         thereof, Preferred Units of any such class or series (except the Class
         Two Partnership Preferred Units) will be validly issued.
         
                  The foregoing opinion is rendered as of the date hereof. We
assume no obligation to update such opinion to reflect any facts of
circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention or changes in the law
which may hereafter occur.
