Death at the Property -
No Duty to Report Maryland law protects a landlord from having to disclose that a homicide, suicide, natural death or a felony occurred on the property. Nor does the landlord have to reveal that the previous owner or occupant of the property is or was suspected to be infected with human immunodeficiency (HIV) syndrome (AIDS). If you feel uncomfortable living in the apartment, check your lease to see if there is a cancellation clause. If there isn't, you can try to negotiate a cancellation agreement with your landlord.
