Rebister the property with the Maryland Department of the Environment; Give tenants the pamphlets Lead Poisoning Prevention: Notice of Tenants Rights and Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home, and Perform Full Risk Reduction Measures (lead hazard treatments) in the property, get a Risk Reduction Certificate and give a copy to all tenants before they move in. Federal law requires that landlords renting properties built before 1978 disclose any known lead-based paint hazards on the property to the tenant before the lease is final.
