Just Cause Eviction Bill Introduced by Montgomery County Delegate
Montgomery County Delegate Heather Mizeur (D) recently introduced MC 918-09 which empowers the tenant to unilaterally renew a lease after the lease has ended, notwithstanding the objection of the apartment building landlord or owner. The bill is a back door to rent control since it requires the lease to be renewed at the same or substantially the same terms. This bill severely impairs property rights and essentially creates a rent-controlled environment.
