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!

But, this moment makes it abundantly clear that Maryland lawmakers must expand these protections (cont)

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.

Tell the Senate to pass HB767: actionnetwork.org/letters/pass-tpra

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

No one should lose their home AND all of their belongings on the same day. 46 other states agree – MD must catch up! Take action: actionnetwork.org/letters/pass...

Over 30 local lawmakers across Maryland sent this letter to members of the state Senate JPR Committee, calling for passage of Good Cause Enabling SB651 — WITHOUT amendments creating preemptions, especially related to vacancy control.

The bill’s currently on a voting list for today. 👀

Evictions are a public health issue! Great op-ed published in the Sun highlighting how preventing evictions keeps our neighbors + communities healthy. That's why we need a STRONG Good Cause Eviction bill! @jwaldstreicher.bsky.social @charlessydnor3d.bsky.social

Nobody should be evicted without a good reason, but in Maryland large corporate landlords file more than 5,000 eviction cases each year without providing a reason. We can change that – tell our legislators to pass a STRONG Good Cause Eviction bill! #MDGA25

. @mocomikee.bsky.social "[G]ood cause eviction allows residents to stay rooted in their communities & holds large landlords accountable.... If a landlord isn’t going to offer a lease to the current tenant, they should have to state a reason, a 'good cause' for doing so" ggwash.org/view/98385/i...

The Maryland Senate Budget & Taxation Committee is hearing SB 154 today – to make funding access to legal representation in eviction court permanent! This program is proven to keep tenants in their homes. RUM urges the Senate to pass SB 154, sponsored by Senator Hettleman & Senator Guzzone. #MDGA25

Let’s do this!

We're listening to renters like Emily: “Renting just feels increasingly like I have no control over where I live." Everyone deserves stable housing. That’s why corporate landlords should have to state a reason before they evict someone. #GoodCauseEvictionNOW #MDGA25 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/r...

Renters know that the rent is too [damn] high & now the data backs that up -- rents have increased 22.5% statewide in the last 5 years. It's time to worry less about corporate landlords' profits & more about keeping people housed and rooted in their communities.

So the 60-year-olds are challenging the 70-year-olds for leadership and we’re calling it a radical change to reshape the party.
We’ve clearly learned all of the lessons of 2024.
