Plain English

Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-1902, violations of Maryland's senior housing title that affect residents or prospective residents fall within the enforcement authority of the Division of Consumer Protection of the Office of the Attorney General, operating under Title 13 of the Commercial Law Article. Other state agencies may also enforce the title's provisions within their respective areas of authority. This provision establishes a dual-track enforcement structure rather than concentrating all oversight in a single body.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers subject to Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-1902 should be aware that compliance failures affecting residents or prospective residents can trigger action by the Maryland Division of Consumer Protection, in addition to any relevant state agency with jurisdiction over the specific conduct at issue. Operators generally maintain records and practices that demonstrate adherence to the full title, since multiple agencies may independently review conduct. Familiarity with both the consumer-protection framework under Title 13 of the Commercial Law Article and any sector-specific regulatory requirements is part of responsible property management under this title.

For Tenants

Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-1902 gives residents and prospective residents the benefit of enforcement by the Maryland Division of Consumer Protection when a violation of this title affects them directly. Tenants who believe their rights under the title have been violated may consider reaching out to the Division of Consumer Protection or other relevant state agencies, or consulting a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Because multiple agencies share enforcement responsibility, there may be more than one avenue through which a concern can be raised.
