Cal. Civ. Code § 6-812
Md. Code Ann., Environment Art. Title 6, Subtitle 8 — Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
Operative Text
(a) An owner who has registered an affected property under § 6–811 of this subtitle shall: (1) Renew the registration of the affected property on or before December 31 of each year or according to a schedule established by the Department by regulation; and (2) Update the information contained in the owner’s registration required by § 6–811(b)(1) through (5) of this subtitle within 30 days after any change in the information required in the registration. (b) An owner who first acquires affected property after December 1, 1995 shall register the affected property under § 6–811 of this subtitle within 30 days after the acquisition.
Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-812, Maryland law requires owners of affected properties—those subject to lead paint registration requirements—to renew their registration annually by December 31 and to update any changed registration details within 30 days of the change. Owners who acquire an affected property after December 1, 1995 must complete an initial registration within 30 days of taking ownership. This provision establishes an ongoing compliance cycle, not just a one-time registration obligation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to Maryland's lead paint registration program under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-812 generally maintain compliance by tracking the annual December 31 renewal deadline and promptly updating registration records whenever ownership details, contact information, or other required data changes. Owners who acquire a newly covered property make it a practice to register within 30 days of acquisition rather than waiting for the next annual cycle. Keeping a calendar reminder for both the annual renewal and any mid-year changes helps operators stay current with the Department's requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-812 gives tenants in affected properties an interest in knowing whether their landlord has maintained a current, up-to-date registration with the state's lead paint program. If a landlord appears to have missed the annual renewal deadline or failed to update registration information after a change in ownership, tenants may have grounds to raise that non-compliance in relevant proceedings or file a complaint with the appropriate Maryland state agency. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Maryland's lead paint laws can help residents understand what registration records are available and what options exist when a landlord may not be in compliance.
