Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Maryland

Renting an Apartment

A young lady who wants to rent the apartment from me has written to say that she is still planning to come to NASM ( National Air and Space Museum) and work in Collections (not directly for me or anyone I supervise) but that she is now being hired as a �contractor.�

Is this a conflict of interest

I fail to see such a problem under the facts you've described unless there's some obscure provision in OPM's personnel regulations which is unknown to me which might make it a problem.
