University of Maryland: What version of the Maryland Tenants’ Bill of Rights does Real Property §8-208(c)(4) require a lease to include?

DIRECT ANSWER

Maryland §8-208(c)(4), posted primary text retrieved October 19, 2026 from a recent cache. Current DHCD version must be checked at lease preparation; no specific PDF date or individual lease acceptance established.

Maryland Real Property §8-208(c)(4) requires a lease to include a copy of the most current Maryland Tenants’ Bill of Rights published by the Office of Tenant and Landlord Affairs in the Department of Housing and Community Development. Use the department’s official resource to obtain the current document when preparing the lease. An older copy linked elsewhere does not establish that the required current version is included. This guide identifies the document-version requirement; it does not verify a particular lease, certify compliance with other lease rules or assign a publication date to the current PDF.
