SCOPE
Operative Text
This subchapter applies to all buildings which are rented in whole or in part as a dwelling for persons other than the property owner’s family as defined herein. It includes accessory structures such as garages and storage buildings. This subchapter does not apply to Waldorf Department of Health licensed rest homes, convalescent facilities, nursing homes or hotels and motels. (Ord. 85, passed - -2020)
Waldorf Ch. 151 § 175.22 defines which residential rental properties fall under this subchapter's rules. It covers any building rented as a dwelling to people outside the property owner's family, including attached or detached accessory structures like garages and storage buildings. However, the subchapter explicitly carves out Waldorf Department of Health–licensed rest homes, convalescent facilities, nursing homes, hotels, and motels, which remain outside its reach.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Waldorf Ch. 151 § 175.22, operators of residential rental properties—including those with accessory structures such as garages or storage units—should recognize that this subchapter's requirements apply to their buildings if they are rented to non-family members. Landlords running facilities licensed by the Waldorf Department of Health as rest homes, convalescent facilities, or nursing homes, as well as hotel and motel operators, are not subject to this subchapter. Compliant residential rental operators generally confirm whether their property type falls within the defined scope before applying or relying on the subchapter's provisions.

Waldorf Ch. 151 § 175.22 establishes that tenants living in residential rental properties—including those who rent garage or storage space as part of their arrangement—are covered by this subchapter's protections, provided they are not members of the property owner's family as defined in the ordinance. Tenants in licensed rest homes, convalescent facilities, nursing homes, hotels, or motels do not have access to this subchapter's provisions. Renters who are uncertain whether their housing situation falls within the subchapter's scope may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for general guidance.
