When a plural noun ends with an s, the apostrophe (') is placed after the s at the end of the word to indicate possession; for example, the books' covers, the cars' owners, the tenants' rights, etc.

When a plural noun does not end with an s, an apostrophe s is added to the end of the word to indicate possession; for example, the children's playground, men's suits, her teeth's whiteness, etc.
