Commission on Common Ownership Communities (CCOC)

Coming soon.

Commission on Landlord-Tenant Affairs (COLTA)

The Montgomery County Commission on Landlord-Tenant Affairs, often referred to as COLTA, is a quasi-judicial body crated to render decision regarding Landlord-Tenant complaints that the Investigators were unable to resolve. COLTA has the power to hold hearing and issue Decisions and Orders that have the force of law. If you disagree with a Commission decision, you would have to appeal it to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland. Having your case heard before the Commission is generally quicker than going through the District Court and it is free.
