Please join us on Wednesday, October 1st at 1pm via Zoom for a joint Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington (AOBA) & Maryland Multi-Housing Association (MMHA) webinar with the Maryland Department of Labor's Office of Financial Regulation to discuss the Maryland’s Debt Collection Licensing Requirements as it relates to property management companies. 

A recent letter of advice from the Maryland Attorney General’s Office interprets routine rent collection, including past-due notices and failure-to-pay-rent actions, as activities that may require a debt collection license under the Maryland Collection Agency Licensing Act. This represents a major shift from long-standing industry practice and has significant implications for property managers, owners, and housing providers across the state. AOBA and MMHA are hosting a webinar with the Maryland Department of Labor to provide clarity on the licensing process and requirements for property management companies.
