What is a Lead Certificate and When Do I Need One?
Residential rental properties built before 1978 are required to be registered and then renewed annually with the Maryland Department of the Environment. Residential rental properties built after 1977 and properties that have a passing Lead Free inspection certificate are exempt.
On or after January 1, 2015, all properties built prior to 1978 must have a new lead inspection certificate at each change of occupancy.
