Cal. Civ. Code § 6-832
Md. Code Ann., Environment Art. Title 6, Subtitle 8 — Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
Operative Text
(a) An offeror under § 6-831 of this subtitle shall send notice of the qualified offer to the person at risk, or in the case of a minor, the parent or legal guardian of the minor in the form and manner specified by the Department. (b) (1) An offeror under § 6-831 of this subtitle shall send a copy of the qualified offer to the local health department in the jurisdiction where the person at risk resides. (2) Within 5 business days after receiving the copy of the qualified offer under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the local health department shall personally notify the person at risk, or in the case of a minor, the parent or legal guardian of the minor of State and local resources available for lead poisoning prevention and treatment. (3) The local health department shall maintain a copy of the qualified offer in the case management file of the person at risk.
Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-832, when a property owner or other offeror makes a qualified offer related to lead paint exposure, that offer must be communicated directly to the affected individual—or to a parent or guardian if the person is a minor. A copy of the offer must also go to the local health department, which is then required to personally inform the affected person about available state and local resources for lead poisoning prevention and treatment within five business days. The local health department must keep the offer on file as part of the individual's case management record.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers acting as offerors under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-832 are generally expected to deliver notice of a qualified offer to the affected resident—or to that person's parent or guardian if a minor is involved—using the form and manner the Department specifies. Compliant operators also send a copy of that offer to the local health department in the jurisdiction where the affected person lives, ensuring the department can fulfill its own notification duties. Keeping documentation of these transmittals is a standard practice for demonstrating compliance with this provision.
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 § 6-832 gives individuals at risk from lead exposure—or their parents or guardians—the right to receive direct notice of any qualified offer made on their behalf. Within five business days of the offeror notifying the local health department, that department must personally inform the affected person about state and local resources for lead poisoning prevention and treatment. Tenants who believe they did not receive required notices may consider contacting their local health department, reaching out to a tenant-rights organization, or consulting an attorney familiar with Maryland's lead paint laws to understand available options.
