Maryland Publishes Nation’s First Statewide Tenants’ Bill of Rights
Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development published the first statewide Tenants’ Bill of Rights in the nation as required by the passage of the Renters Rights and Stabilization Act of 2024 along with establishing the Office of Tenant and Landlord Affairs. In addition to serving Maryland renters, the office will train landlords, property managers, real estate agents, and other housing industry professionals on requirements for the Tenants’ Bill of Rights and Right of First Refusal law, which gives tenants of certain rental properties the first opportunity to purchase their home when an owner moves to sell the property.
“While we work to tackle Maryland’s housing shortage, we still need to protect vulnerable tenants in a challenging rental market.” —Secretary Jake Day

Orchard Ridge Becomes the First UPLIFT Community
Governor Wes Moore announced Orchard Ridge in Baltimore City as Maryland’s first UPLIFT community. UPLIFT (Utilizing Progressive Lending Investments to Finance Transformation) is a $10 million state-funded program designed to increase property values and homeownership in disinvested neighborhoods. It aims to accelerate the development, construction, and sale of quality affordable housing by transforming vacant lots and structures.
The program provides critical gap financing to mission-aligned developers, with a core goal of addressing the racial wealth gap and inequitable appraisal values in redlined communities. Nonprofit homebuilder Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake will receive $1.25 million through UPLIFT to help create 27 new 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom homes in Orchard Ridge, with the goal of building generational wealth and restoring dignity to historically overlooked areas.
“UPLIFT will help us take real estate that isn’t currently in use and transform it into vibrant places to live, grow, and thrive. And the entire community of Orchard Ridge is going to benefit as a direct result.” —Governor Wes Moore
