When it comes to effective and successful rental of residential properties in Baltimore, including the very important issue of residential lead paint (poisoning) law, I have found over many years of successful lead-based paint poisoning defense work that three major keys for landlord success are : documentation, documentation and documentation.
This documentation begins with the early creation of a TENANT FOLDER (file system) to keep all pertinent landlord-tenant documents in one safe and organized place, including not only lease but other notices, receipts, inspections, work orders, work performance confirmations, consents, complaints from both the landlord and the tenant, et al.
Next, it is absolutely crucial that the landlord implement and confirm compliance with all mandatory as well as voluntary RENTAL PROPERTY LEAD DISCLOSURES, as required by local, state and federal law, including the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, commonly known as TITLE X. This Act was passed by the Federal government in an attempt to reduce the number of lead poisoning victims in the United States. TITLE X is enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and it enforces regulations related to TITLE X to rental property buildings that were constructed before 1978 ( the year lead-based paint was outlawed in the United States for residential use).
