We study sufficient conditions under which a nowhere scattered
$\mathrm {C}^*$
-algebra
$A$
has a nowhere scattered multiplier algebra
$\mathcal {M}(A)$
, that is, we study when
$\mathcal {M}(A)$
has no nonzero, elementary ideal-quotients. In particular, we prove that a
$\sigma$
-unital
$\mathrm {C}^*$
-algebra
$A$
of
(i)
finite nuclear dimension, or
(ii)
real rank zero, or
(iii)
stable rank one with
$k$
-comparison,
is nowhere scattered if and only if
$\mathcal {M}(A)$
is.
