On Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 12:30 p.m., Councilmember Will Jawando will hold a press conference with residents who have been impacted by evictions and rent increases to discuss the community impact of Bill 30-21, Landlord-Tenant Relations – Restrictions During Emergencies – Extended Limitations Against Rent Increases and Late Fees.
This bill would build upon expedited legislation passed by the Council last April 2020 in response to the COVID-19 rental crisis. The 2020 legislation, the COVID-19 Renter Relief Act, limited the increase of residential rents during the catastrophic health emergency declared by Governor Hogan on March 5, 2020. Under the COVID-19 Renter Relief Act, the limitation on rent increases lasts for 90 days after the emergency expires. The public hearing on this bill is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 1:30 p.m.

Back in July it was announced that the Montgomery County Green Bank and Sandy Spring Bank are teaming up to provide flexible financing to help the Olney Ale House re-open. We spoke with a representative from Montgomery County Green Bank over the weekend who let us know that the construction is moving along well and that construction could take around 3-5 months, but that is just an estimate. They said they want to make sure to keep the county up to date on potential activities around the reopening and will provide additional information soon.
A kitchen fire at the Olney Ale House caused the restaurant to temporarily shut down in 2019 and COVID-19 only compounded the issues for the restaurant. Click here to read our original article about the Olney Ale House reopening.
