Housing in Brief: Baltimore Mayor Vetoes Security Deposit Insurance Bill – Next City

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott vetoed a bill that would provide alternatives to traditional security deposits for tenants this week, potentially marking a swift turnaround for a proposal that the city council approved by a vote of 12-2 in April, according to a report in The Baltimore Sun. The bill would have required some landlords to give tenants a choice to pay a security deposit in three monthly installments or opt for a security deposit “insurance” plan, in which they would pay nonrefundable monthly premiums to a bond company that would cover the upfront costs of damages but bill the tenant for them afterward, the report says. That could result in tenants paying more than the cost of a security deposit, and in the weeks since the bill’s passage, advocacy groups including the Baltimore branch of the NAACP, Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition, Baltimore Teachers Union, CASA and Progressive Maryland, lobbied the mayor to veto the bill, according to the report.

Black homeowner in Indianapolis had a white friend stand in for 3rd appraisal Her home value doubled

INDIANAPOLIS â Carlette Duffy felt both vindicated and excited. Both relieved and angry. For months, she suspected she had been low-balled on two home appraisals because sheâs Black. She decided to put that suspicion to the test and asked a white family friend to stand in for her during an appraisal. Her homeâs value suddenly shot up. A lot. During the early months of the coronavirus pandemic last year, the first two appraisers who visited her home in the historic Flanner House Homes neighborhood, just west of downtown Indianapolis, valued it at $125,000 and $110,000, respectively. But that third appraisal went differently.

Indianapolis homeowner says appraisal doubled when she hid her race

Carlette Duffy felt both vindicated and excited. Both relieved and angry. For months, she suspected she had been low-balled on two home appraisals because she s Black. She decided to put that suspicion to the test and asked a white family friend to stand in for her during an appraisal. Her home s value suddenly shot up. A lot. During the early months of the coronavirus pandemic last year, the first two appraisers who visited her home in the historic Flanner House Homes neighborhood, just west of downtown, valued it at $125,000 and $110,000, respectively. But that third appraisal went differently. To get that one, Duffy, who is African American, communicated with the appraiser strictly via email, stripped her home of all signs of her racial and cultural identity and had the white husband of a friend stand in for her during the appraiser s visit.
