With next month’s rent due in just a few days, we know many residents are concerned about their housing and economic security during this crisis. To alleviate these concerns, the Montgomery County Council has taken a number of housing relief measures to assist renters during this time. These actions include increasing rental assistance and adopting emergency rent stabilization.
Join Councilmember Evan Glass (At-Large) and Councilmember Will Jawando (At-Large) as they provide updates on their efforts to provide support for renters and address other tenant concerns.
