URGENT Action for Housing Access! ▶️ bit.ly/fairchance26 Everyone deserves a fair chance at stable housing, which is why housing decisions should be based on whether someone can be a reliable tenant today, not past mistakes. (1/2)

Join us next Tuesday, March 10th in Annapolis to call on the Maryland General Assembly to support the Stable Homes, Strong Communities Agenda! We’re more than half way through the legislative session, and Marylanders need action on housing justice now! RSVP – bit.ly/rum3-10

Join us on Mon Feb 9 at 7pm to rally for eliminating barriers for returning citizens! Everyone needs access to safe, stable 🏠. The Fair Chance in Housing Act would prevent landlord discrimination against most returning citizens, removing a barrier to housing! RSVP: tinyurl.com/CJRRallyFeb2026

With @jheanellew.bsky.social once again introducing her wonderful good cause enabling legislation bill, here is a piece I wrote a while back making the case for this simple but important renter protection. ggwash.org/view/98385/i... Plead see @rentersunitemd.bsky.social to learn more!

It’s time for good cause eviction in Maryland

As more and more people are forced to stay renters because of an unaffordable homeownership market, good cause eviction allows residents to stay rooted in their communities and holds large landlords a...

Maryland has a shortage of nearly 100K affordable rentals, as well as a shortage of protections for renters. If we want to ensure that all MDers have access to affordable 🏠 we need to boost eviction prevention $, pass Good Cause Eviction legislation, + block anticipated bills to speed up evictions.

Thank you @govwesmoore.bsky.social for getting the funding for eviction and homelessness prevention for families with children in community schools out the door! As Gov. Moore says, few things are more important to a child's growth and development than a safe, stable home.

🗓️ THIS Wednesday at 7pm on Zoom! 🗓️ Join us for a Housing Justice Priorities Strategy Session to discuss our state legislative priorities, what it will take to win for renters in 2026, + what YOU can do to ensure every MDer has safe, stable, affordable 🏠! Join us and bring a friend: bit.ly/rumnov

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)

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!

Together we can win crucial policy changes and improve conditions for renters across Maryland! Join us on Sun, August 10th in Baltimore City or on Zoom for the Renters United Maryland Housing Justice Summit! RSVP: bit.ly/RUM2025

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. That’s why we must build our movement and come back better than ever in 2026! Join us bit.ly/JoinRUM

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

The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee could be voting on the Tenant Possessions Recovery Act as soon as this afternoon! Sign up for a slot and tell them to pass the bill with NO weakening amendments! No one should lose their home AND all of their belongings on the same day. bit.ly/PassTPRA

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...

Using desperately needed Good Cause Eviction legislation as an opportunity to either roll back or prevent the spread of increasingly popular rent stabilization laws in Maryland is not what this moment calls for. 🧵 marylandmatters.org/2025/03/12/g...

'Good cause' at a cost: Counties may have to pick either good cause evictions or rent stabilization - Maryland Matters

Supporters of "good cause" eviction laws may finally get their bill this year -- but it might come at the cost of other renter protections, as local jurisdictions could have to pick between rent-contr...
