This is an agency the county could do away with, and use the money on something else. When you file a complaint, you won't hear from them, unless you inquire a month later. Then, you don't get an answer to your concerns. Tout say they are NO tenants' advocate is an understatement. They are useless period!

Landlords are charged $114/year for a rental license. That is no big deal but for $114 all I get for the money is a notice every year that my $114 is due. Two issues that they could address at no cost, but despite my recommendations every year to them and also to councilmembers, they fail to do so: 1) The County Council passes new landlord-tenant laws almost every year but these laws are not communicated to landlords. I usually find out by accident through google searches. If they care about landlords and tenants honoring or being protected by the laws, they could include those updates along with the rental license renewal each year. But they don't. 2) The Landlord-Tenant Handbook is a good resource and I rely on it for the sample leases for landlords to use. Again, announcements to landlords are never made about new versions of the handbook. Also, the handbook should have a page that clearly provides new laws, by year enacted. There's no way to tell what has changed in the sample lease from year to year other than some vague descriptions, and using the new sample lease each time is a major time consuming task to format. We own one house and are renting it out while away for military service. It often feels like Montgomery County makes it difficult for landlords who are trying to follow all of the laws. (Nevermind that you cannot call and speak with anyone other than 311, which is just a hurdle and a time suck to getting assistance, or that you cannot call someone back at the LTAO office.)

Amazing customer service, Miss Maureen made me feel like it was okay to ask questions. I was unsure of a lot of things and asked her a lot of questions, she was very kind and patient. Thank you so much for your kindness, it goes a long way.

Both. Inform your landlord (in writing) and, if it is between the hours of 9PM-6AM, you can call the police for noise disturbances.

Well, did you ask her in writing? Do you have a tenant landlord in your jurisdiction, if so you need to consult them if not contact a lawyer

Landlord is responsible for the unit only. If you have renter's insurance, that claim should be filed there and they can provide relocation assistance.

Where can a tenant go with a grievance? My landlord controls the heat via WiFi and has a locked cover over the thermostat in the home. I have text messages going back to September where I complained about the cold and asked him to turn heat on.

I'm so sorry. File a claim with landlord tenant ASAP.

I signed a one year lease and moved into the downstairs of a single family home. The noise upstairs is extreme. The ceiling is not sound proof. I can even hear the dog running around. What is my recourse. Saturday the 22 was my first night.

Not sure if anyone from the office would answer your question here. I would suggest calling them on Monday and talk to someone

How long after I move will my deposit be issued?

Your landlord has 45 days from the end of the lease to send your security deposit plus interest and less damages, a list of ;damages, and actual costs to repair said damages. You have the right to request the landlord to furnish all receipts from repairing said damages as well. If your landlord sends these items even one day past 45 days, they forfeit the right to take ANY money from your security deposit even if you smashed the walls with a hammer before you left the property. I would keep a close eye on a calender, if you can!
