Baltimore City Land Lords Beware/ Help Stop This Bill

A short description of The Baltimore City Renters Act:
All landlords will be required to send tenants a 14 day notice that the rent is late. Included in this, each notice will have to include a ledger, copy of lease, registration # and lead cert # . You must inform the tenant that they can cure default by paying within this time frame. You also must include name of tenant advocates that can give them free legal advice and representation. This must be sent certified mail and first class.
After 14 days if payment has not been made you can file a failure to pay rent which must include all the documents and proof they were sent with certified mail tracking #.

When filing the failure to pay you must also add 30.00 to the court fees which you can not recover from tenant to fund advocates to represent tenants.

If your tenant pays you the money it must go towards the current amount due not to past balances and can only be for rent and late charges not utilities, water or citations.

If any of the steps are missed or challenged your case will be dismissed and you will have to start over.

Please pass this on to everyone that may have an interest in removing the bill.
