Landlord-Tenant Affairs Commission

Established by Section 18-36 of the Rockville City Code, the Landlord-Tenant Affairs Commission resolves disputes between landlords and tenants. Visit the File a Landlord-Tenant Complaint page for more information.

Members

The Landlord-Tenant Affairs Commission consists of 10 members. Two members are landlords or operators of rental facilities in the city. Two members are tenants who reside in the city and do not earn a livelihood owning or managing rental property. Three members are city residents selected from the public at large who are neither landlords nor tenants. Additionally, the commission includes an alternate member from each of these three groups.

Before members are selected, recommendations are requested from all organizations in the city representing landlords or tenants. If no nominations are received within the time limit set by the mayor, appointments are made without nominations.
