Landlord Question and Answer Forum
What is the maximum rent increase allowable in Baltimore, MD.

RE: Rent Increase
Maryland state law has no rent control provisions, although local jurisdictions may have rent control laws.
The statewide Rent Control Law expired in 1975, and similar rent control ordinances have expired in Baltimore City, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County.
Montgomery County does have a Voluntary Rent Guideline Law that is administered by the Office of Landlord Tenant Affairs (OLTA) and requires landlords to report rental increases. OLTA, however, currently has no authority to order rent rollbacks or to prevent landlords from increasing rent above the voluntary guidelines. Baltimore County has a similar Voluntary Rent Control Commission that simply monitors rent increases in excess of the inflation rate.
