Property Manager disappeared with my money

[Amer Mallah]

Hi - I live in Maryland, if that's relevant. My property manager vanished with a month of my tenant's rent and the security deposit. They won't return calls, email addresses are unresponsive, cell phones go unanswered. Has anyone recovered their money in this situation, and if so - how?

If the property manager was licensed, you can make a claim against the state Guaranty Fund
