Information about Lead paint inspection
Maryland lead paint law
Only pre-1978 residential rental properties/units (“Affected Properties”) are regulated by Maryland’s Reduction of Lead Risk in Housing Act. Owner-occupied properties/units are not regulated. Affected Properties that are Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) certified lead-free or limited lead-free are exempt from Maryland’s lead paint law. Affected Properties owned or operated by federal, State, or local government or by a public, quasi-public, or municipal corporation are also exempt, provided the Affected Properties are subject to standards at least as strict as the standards established by Maryland’s lead paint law.
Risk reduction lead inspection
Each time the tenant changes, the Affected Property must pass a risk reduction lead inspection. To pass the inspection, the Affected Property must pass a lead-contaminated dust test, and ensure no paint is chipping, peeling, or flaking. The inspection should be completed by a MDE-accredited lead paint inspection contractor.
