Waldorf Ch. 151 § 175.34 establishes parking requirements for residential rental properties. Any rental unit newly licensed after the subchapter's effective date must provide two off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit, meeting specific size, surface, and location standards. Tandem parking does not count toward these requirements, and public sidewalks or rights-of-way cannot be used to satisfy them. Properties that were already operating before the subchapter's adoption may also be required to add parking if adequate spaces are lacking and yard space is available.

Operators of newly licensed rental properties under Waldorf Ch. 151 § 175.34 are generally expected to plan for two conforming off-street parking spaces per unit before obtaining a rental license. Compliant operators ensure spaces meet the ten-by-twenty-foot minimum dimensions, are located on the same lot (or within 500 feet for multi-family properties under common ownership), and have hard-surfaced driveways and parking areas within one year of licensure—using only approved materials, not recycled asphalt or recycled concrete. Failure to hard-surface within that one-year window can result in revocation of the rental license, so tracking that deadline is a standard part of property management under this provision.

Under Waldorf Ch. 151 § 175.34, tenants living in newly licensed rental units are entitled to two off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit that meet the code's size and surface standards. If a rental property appears to lack the required parking or has unpaved surfaces beyond the one-year grace period, tenants may have grounds to raise a code-compliance concern with the local licensing or code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Waldorf's rental regulations can help residents understand what options are generally available when a property does not appear to meet the parking requirements of this section.
