More awful landlord laws for Baltimore City have been proposed.

[Nicole A.]

Senate Bill 801, House Bill 0796--This bill is proposing to obtain additional funds for evictions and will adversely affect owners of units in Baltimore City. This bill will cause delays in evictions and owners will incur additional charges for filing, forcing landlords to have to wait (in turn losing more time and money) for evictions to be warranted.

The Senate hearing is scheduled for March 3, 2016; the House hearing has not been scheduled yet. You are invited to testify at the hearing where you can provide written and/or oral testimony for or against the bill. To check the dates of the hearings, please visit: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/webmga/frmLegislation.aspx?pid=legisnpage and enter the bill number (SB 801 or HB0796).

You may still file your complaints at the appropriate senate/delegates office mentioned above. Comments may be submitted in writing and sent to those offices.
