Cal. Civ. Code § 8A-1901
Md. Code Ann., Real Property Art. Title 8A — Mobile Homes
Operative Text
No provision of this title shall be deemed to be a bar to the applicability of supplementary rights afforded by any public local law enacted by the General Assembly or any ordinance or any local law enacted by any municipality or political subdivision of this State; provided, however, that no such law can diminish or limit any right or remedy granted under the provisions of this title.
Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-1901, Maryland's statewide tenant-landlord title does not preempt or block local governments—including municipalities and political subdivisions—from enacting laws that give tenants additional rights or remedies beyond what the state title provides. However, any such local law is prohibited from reducing or eliminating the rights and remedies already guaranteed by the state title. In effect, local law can only add to the floor of protections, never subtract from it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Maryland should be aware that, under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-1901, compliance obligations may extend beyond the state title itself if the locality where a property is situated has enacted supplementary tenant-protection ordinances or local laws. Compliant operators generally review both state and applicable local requirements to ensure their practices meet whichever standard is higher. Because local rules can only expand—never reduce—state-level protections, the state title sets the minimum baseline that all operators must meet.

Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-1901 establishes that tenants may be entitled to rights and remedies beyond those found in the state title if the city, county, or municipality where they rent has passed additional tenant-protection laws or ordinances. Because local law cannot diminish state-level protections, tenants retain all rights granted by the state title regardless of what any local ordinance says. Tenants who believe a local or state protection has been violated may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or rent board to learn about available complaint processes and remedies.
