Council also considering bills on mercury regulators, rental discrimination December 10, 2020 | 5:10 pm December 18, 2020 File photo About two months after a 2-year-old boy died after falling from a third-floor apartment window in Takoma Park, the Montgomery County Council is considering a requirement for landlords to install window guards in all apartments with children up to age 10. Under the bill, landlords would also have to install the guards at a tenant’s request and include the window guard requirements within a lease or an addendum to the lease. The cost of the installation and maintenance of the window guards could not be charged to tenants.
