It is no secret that Baltimore is considered by many knowledgeable commentators to be "ground zero" for landlord lead paint claims and cases. Every year many dozens of lawsuits and claims are filed both administratively and in the Baltimore City Circuit Court against residential landlords and landowners by plaintiffs alleging lead poisoning symptoms.
The keys to a landlord avoiding and/or surviving these claims include : research on the property and the lead paint laws in Maryland as well as the Federal government (before you purchase the property, preferably); preparation for the role of being a landlord for pre-1978 built Baltimore residential properties; proper maintenance by Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) - qualified workers on the property; lead paint insurance, preferably (if you can get it or afford it); lawful notice to residential tenants of lead paint risks; and good record-keeping on the property as well as the tenants.
