2. County Executive Johnny Olszewski's new legislation on rental housing will be introduced to the Baltimore County Council session tonight, Mar. 21. The new legislation would create a self-certified registration process for all rental properties with seven or more units in Baltimore County. Olszewski said, “By modernizing our rental registration process, we are strengthening Baltimore County's ability to make sure that all property owners are fulfilling their obligations to their tenants and our communities.” (Nottingham MD)
