Are you a federal worker who has been involuntarily furloughed due to the federal shutdown? If so, Maryland law provides some limited protections from evictions and foreclosures!

6 yrs of ⬆️ rents + ⬇️ eviction prevention 💲 means more kids than ever are homeless. We're grateful to see Sen. Hettleman @vaughnstewart.bsky.social + DHCD's bill go into effect soon to prevent evictions of families of kids in community schools. We need more than $5M/yr to prevent youth homelessness.

You have rights – and starting TODAY (July 1st), your landlord will be required by the state to inform you of them! New leases will come with an 8pg document, called the 'Tenants Bill of Rights'. This is a huge step forward for making sure tenants know their rights while we fight to expand them!

The housing crisis continues, and our legislators fail to act. Unhoused persons seeking shelter DOUBLED in 2024, but Gov. Moore and our elected officials cut eviction prevention funds by 50% and refused to pass Good Cause Eviction which has been proven to reduce evictions.

MD renters made the @marylandmatters.org session 2025 winners/losers list – for the wrong reason! Renters lost this session because of the Senate’s commitment to siding with landlords + developers.

There are only 4 days left of the 2025 MD session! HB767 would ensure that renters get notice of the time/date of their eviction.
Call JPR Chair Smith NOW (410-841-3634) & ask him to bring HB767 up for a vote TODAY! Tenants facing eviction shouldn't wonder when the sheriff will be at their door.

Only a few days left of the 2025 Maryland legislative session! The Senate must pass HB767 – to require tenants are given at least 7 days notice of their eviction. Tenants facing eviction should AT LEAST know when it's happening.

Ms. Hunt's eviction story is a heartbreaking example of why the MD Senate must pass the Tenant Possessions Recovery Act NOW!
