Rental Registration Instructions (MD)
Index of All Maryland Lead Laws

Registration must be renewed annually, and any change in ownership, management, or insurance must be reported within thirty (30) days. Registration forms are open for public inspection, but the Department may not provide a list of properties owned by an individual landlord. However, the Department must disclose, upon request, whether the landlord has registered and complied with certain compliance standards (including the percentage requirements for inventory cleanup). Each time occupancy changes after the first time, the dwelling unit must meet the Full Risk Reduction Standards prescribed by the Department.

Owners are responsible for the cost of temporarily relocating tenants because of a required cleanup, however, tenants are still required to meet normal rent requirements during that time unless an Escrow Action has been filed.
