While the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s announcement is encouraging, Maryland has no law that prevents landlords from this type of discrimination. Denying housing based on legal sources of income happens regularly. Think of all the rental ads in the paper that boldly say “No Section 8.” Not only is this wrong, but it also prolongs homelessness for people who are trying to access housing and get back into the mainstream. Help us do the right thing in Maryland by passing such a law.
