Section 8 apartments near the MARC Penn Line
MARC's Penn Line is the commuter-rail line running Baltimore Penn Station south to Washington DC Union Station via BWI Marshall Airport. Serves Baltimore and Anne Arundel County commuters.
Voucher protections vary by locality
Baltimore City's 2019 SOI ordinance predates MD state law but includes a 20%-per-building cap: landlords can legally refuse voucher applicants once voucher-holders occupy 20% of contiguous units. State law (2020 HOME Act) has no such cap and still applies. Public Justice and Maryland Legal Aid have documented weak Baltimore City enforcement of both the local ordinance and the state law — voucher-holder complaints often go unresolved. Practical effect: state law is your stronger legal footing here.
