Maryland Tenants’ Bill of Rights: https://dhcd.maryland.gov/Tenant-Landlord-Affairs/Documents/Tenant-Bill-of-Rights-V1.pdf
Maryland’s Office of Tenant and Landlord Affairs has published the first version of the Maryland Tenants’ Bill of Rights as required by the passage of Maryland’s  Renters Rights and Stabilization Act of 2024.
The Maryland Tenants’ Bill of Rights must be included with all residential rental leases beginning July 1, 2025. Annually, the Office of Tenant and Landlord Affairs will update and release a new Tenants’ Bill of Rights by September 1, with an effective date of October 1. This annual release will include any major changes to federal or state renter laws, as well as updates based on feedback from tenants and housing partners.
In addition to serving tenants, the Office of Tenant and Landlord Affairs staff are available to train landlords, property managers, real estate agents, and other housing industry professionals on requirements for the Tenants’ Bill of Rights and Right of First Refusal law, which gives tenants of certain rental properties the first opportunity to purchase their home when an owner moves to sell the property.
