Takoma Park, Md Colta

[Ryan Van Fleet]

Hello Maryland Landlords,

I currently own in a rental in Takoma Park, Md. When I started rented I didn't know anything about the rental laws or land lording. I ended underpricing the property. TP has rent control laws, which is keeping me from getting the rent up to market. 

However, they do have a vehicle called COLTA that allows the landlord to petition to raise the rent above the allowable increase. Does anyone here have experience with this, or know a lawyer/consultant that I could hire to help?

@Russell Brazil is probably going to be your best bet here.  I am not familiar with COLTA.  If you do get more info please keep us posted and update us on what you learn.  Hope it all works out for you!
