There are several mistakes that residential landlords frequently make when renting properties.
Some of them are as follows:
.1. Research the history of the real property before purchasing and renting it out. For lead paint
purposes, be particularly aware and on notice if the property was built before 1978.
2. Use only qualified and Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE)-certified or Environmental Protection Agency (EPE)-certified workers to perform any and all lead and asbestos abatement work on the rental property.
3. Provide lawful and proper TITLE X (10), etc.-compliant notice of potential hazards to tenants.
4. Seek adequate liability insurance and other proper types of property insurance on the rental property.
5. Maintain good records (tenant and property files); and save them for at least 21 years.
6. Disclose and remedy as expediently as possible environmental hazards such as lead and mold
when you learn about them.
7. Hire well-qualified and diligent property managers, should you go this route.
8. Do not allow your tenants and your rental property to be easy targets for criminal activity.
