Advocates make one last plea to Md. senators to pass renters’ protections

Dozens of tenants and families of immigrants gathered on Lawyers Mall in front of the Maryland State House for one last rally in hopes that the Maryland Senate moves forward on bills that would protect renters from unjust evictions and unsafe living conditions. About 30 people gathered on a gray and drizzly Tuesday with umbrellas and coats to urge the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee to push two renter protection bills to a vote as soon as possible in the final days of the 2024 session.
