MPDU Apartment Rentals Program
Existing tenants and property managers of rental MPDUs : Information is available here about recertification and lease renewals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Montgomery County's Moderately Priced Dwelling Unit (MPDU) Program offers affordable rents at a number of MPDU apartment complexes located throughout the County.
- Persons interested in the MPDU rental program must apply directly to the MPDU complex of their choice. The management companies at these complexes will provide an application, verify income and credit history, and determine eligibility or ineligibility to rent an MPDU apartment.
