Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-829, when a property owner receives notice about a person at risk of lead exposure, that owner is entitled to receive any available prior blood lead test results for that individual. This information is provided to help the owner determine whether to make a qualified offer and whether that offer should be designated as a co-offer. The local health department is required to share both blood lead test results and the person's residential history that it has on record when it notifies the owner of an affected property.

For Property Managers

Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-829 establishes that when a local health department notifies an owner of an affected property under the lead paint notification process, the department must also furnish the owner with any blood lead test results and residential history it has on file for the person at risk. Compliant property owners generally use this information to evaluate whether a qualified offer is appropriate and whether a co-offer designation applies. Keeping records of all communications and disclosures received from the local health department is a practice commonly associated with managing these obligations effectively.

For Tenants

Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-829, a person at risk—or those acting on their behalf—has a right to know that their prior blood lead test results may be shared with a property owner as part of the lead paint notification process. This provision is part of Maryland's broader framework designed to facilitate timely remediation of lead hazards in rental housing. Tenants who have questions about how their health information is being used or about their rights in this process may find it helpful to contact their local health department or a tenant-rights organization familiar with Maryland's lead paint laws.
