Rent Protection. In 2004, the Maryland General Assembly enacted legislation requiring landlords to confirm their compliance with Maryland’s Lead Risk Reduction in Housing Law when filing for repossession of property based on a tenant’s failure to pay rent. If the property to be repossessed was constructed prior to 1978, the landlord must state that they are currently registered with Maryland Department of the Environment and provide the certificate number for the inspection conducted for the current tenancy. Failure to provide this information may result in the dismissal of the landlord’s complaint.
