The rent escrow system is meant to hold landlords accountable by allowing renters to pay their rent to the court – but this system is broken, which leaves renters vulnerable. Pass the Tenant Safety Act, @MDSenate, & #ProtectRenters. #mdga24#HousingJustice

[Carol Ott 🏚️ @CarolSOtt]

A little dismayed to find our our mayor is in favor of a state bill that would allow tenants to be displaced due to overdue water bills, via tax sale. It's both discriminatory and cruel, and I would ask @MayorBMScott to publicly denounce this bill.
