Renters and tenant rights groups in Baltimore successfully forced the mayor to veto a bill that would introduce rental security-deposit insurance — so-called surety bonds, a predatory practice by landlords that essentially makes the tenant pay the rental deposit twice.
The veto is a major victory against the landlords, especially taking into account the bill had the backing of the city council president and that all except two of the 14 council members voted for the bill.
