Public Safety - Short-Term Rental Units - Safety (Jillian and Lindsay Wiener Short-Term Rental Safety Act)

Summary

The law makes owners of short‑term rentals (rented for less than 30 days) post evacuation maps, emergency phone numbers, provide a fire extinguisher, and install working smoke (and carbon‑monoxide) alarms. Booking platforms must inform hosts of these rules, and counties or Baltimore City must set up annual inspections and report compliance to the State Fire Marshal. The goal is to improve fire safety for guests staying in short‑term rentals.
