If you own rental property MARYLAND LAW REQUIRES that you:

• Register property built before 1950:
  Call the Maryland Department of the Environment
  at 410-537-4199 or 1-800-776-2706 for a registration package.
• Inform your tenants:
  You must distribute tenant rights information regarding lead hazards
  when a lease is signed.
• Get a lead certificate:
  You are not required to test paint;
  You are required to get an inspection.
• You will be fined if you don't comply.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM LIABILITY AND FINES.
