Real Property - Residential Lease - Terminology

Summary

The bill seeks to change the language used in dozens of Maryland statutes that govern residential leases, swapping the words “landlord” and “tenant” for “rental property owner” and “resident.” This terminology shift would affect landlords, renters, and the legal professionals who represent them in housing disputes. The measure received an unfavorable report from the Economic Matters Committee and was subsequently withdrawn.
