During the 2011 Session of the General Assembly, the Maryland " Reduction of Lead Risk in Housing Act " (the Lead Law) was amended. These amendments are contained in House Bill (HB) 1033 and can be found at the following link: http://mlis.state.md.us/2011rs/chapters_noln/Ch_610_hb 1033E.pdf
Because the changes to the existing "Lead Law" are substantial, we feel it is important to notify the landlord of, and provide a brief summary of, the amendments as follows:
The new law requires lead contaminated dust testing ( with no chipping, peeling, flaking paint) as the only Risk Reduction Standard prior to first occupancy of an affected property (including pre-1950 residential rental units) and at change in occupancy, inter alia. Previous law allowed for the dust test or the 10 risk reduction treatments verified with a visual inspection.
