County councilmembers engaged in hours of discussion Tuesday ahead of an expected vote on legislation to limit rent increases.
MCM spoke with advocates for the bill.
Councilmembers Will Jawando and Kristin Mink held a press conference with advocates Tuesday afternoon in between council sessions about the bill.
Bill 15-23 would limit allowable annual rent increases to 3% plus inflation, to be capped at 6%.
Some leaders within the county have expressed concerns about the bill. In separate letters to the council, leaders of the cities of Gaithersburg and Rockville shared their concerns about “unintended consequences.”
