Landlord and Tenant - Discrimination in Housing for Income-Based Housing Subsidies and Positive Rental History Reporting

Summary

The law bars landlords from refusing to rent to a prospective tenant who pays with a government or nonprofit housing subsidy because of the tenant’s income, credit score, or past credit problems, except when the landlord’s funding requires income qualification. It also requires landlords to give tenants the option to have their on‑time rent reported to a consumer reporting agency. Violations are treated as discriminatory housing practices and enforced by the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights.
