Maryland and federal laws about lead paint are designed to reduce childhood lead poisoning while maintaining affordable rented housing. These laws provide rights and duties for renters and property owners in pre-1978 residential rental properties/units ( aka, "Affected Properties").
The homes that are covered by Maryland's lead paint law are pre-1978 built residential rental properties/units. These homes are regulated by the Maryland Reduction of Lead Risk in Housing Act.
Owner-occupied properties/units are not regulated. Affected properties/units 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/units owned or operated by Federal, State, or Local governments 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 in MARYLAND'S LEAD PAINT LAW
[ Maryland Code, Annotated, Environment Sections 6-801, 6-803 and 6-804].
