The Prince George's County Council takes emergency action after hearing concerns from tenants about some landlords' response to rent stabilization legislation.
After hearing concerns from local seniors, the Prince George’s County Council moved to block retaliation from landlords seeking an end-run around rent stabilization legislation that became effective April 17.The emergency action, taken Tuesday, clarified elements of the bill, such as who constitutes a “preexisting tenant” after council members heard reports that some landlords upset by a new 3 percent cap on rent increases were attempting to oust renters.
“This legislation is one that will stop landlords from being able to retaliate just for tenants asking for the law to be enforced [while] making sure they don’t find a loophole that if you’re an existing tenant, they say, ‘We’re not going to renew your lease, we’re just going to give you a new lease,’” said District 7 council member Krystal Oriadha , who spearheaded the action.
Delores Prioleau, one of the residents, said that after the council passed rent stabilization protections, management told tenants in a meeting that their units were exempt from the new rules and introduced leases with rent payments that in some cases exceeded existing terms by more than $500 a month — a chasm for seniors living on a fixed income.
