Cal. Civ. Code § 7-103
The Secretary shall adopt regulations to carry out this title.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Maryland Housing and Community Development Code § 7-103 grants the Secretary of Housing and Community Development the authority to create and adopt administrative regulations that implement the broader provisions of the title. This means the rules governing housing programs and tenant protections under this title are shaped not only by the statute itself but also by regulations the Secretary issues. Those regulations carry legal weight and can affect rights and obligations under the title.

For Property Managers

Under § 7-103, the Secretary's adopted regulations have the force of law and may impose specific compliance requirements on property owners participating in programs governed by this title. Operators generally stay current with any regulatory guidance issued under this authority to ensure their practices align with current requirements.

For Tenants

Section § 7-103 means that tenant rights under this title may be further defined or clarified by regulations the Secretary has adopted, which can be just as binding as the statute itself. Tenants who believe a housing program or landlord practice may conflict with those regulations can consult a tenant-rights organization or contact the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development to learn what rules apply to their situation.
