Maryland HB80 mandates landlords to disclose all fees to tenants before signing leases for properties with four or more units.
Maryland HB80 requires landlords to provide prospective tenants with an itemized list of all fees, including whether they are mandatory or optional, and when they are due. This applies to leases signed or renewed on or after October 1, 2026, for properties with four or more rental units. The bill prohibits landlords from imposing mandatory fees that were not disclosed. It allows tenants to file claims for violations, with potential damages up to three times the actual damages plus attorney's fees. Local jurisdictions can adopt more stringent laws.
