New laws hold landlords accountable and prevent evictions

October 1, 2024

Several new laws will advance housing justice for Maryland tenants, including the Tenant Safety Act, eviction prevention funds for families whose kids are in community schools, Governor Moore’s Renters’ Rights & Stabilization Act, and a law that will help shield unfair rent court records from tenants’ rental history. The Public Justice Center advocated for these laws alongside fellow members of Renters United Maryland. Read about these laws, which went into effect on October 1, and ongoing advocacy for affordable, safe, stable, and fair housing.
