Lease Application (Maryland
Code, Real Property, Section 8-213) Each lease application must include a statement which explains the liabilities tenant incurs upon signing the application; and the following Code provisions: 1) If landlord requires from prospective tenant any fees other than a security deposit, and those fees exceed $25, landlord must return the fees no later than 15 days after the date of occupancy, or no later than 15 days after written communication by either landlord or tenant to the other that no tenancy will occur. If landlord does not comply, he is liable for twice the amount of the fees; and 2) landlord may retain the amount actually expended for a credit check or for other expenses arising out of the application. This section applies only to landlords who offer 5 or more rental units on one parcel of property or at one location. It does not apply to seasonal rentals or condominium rentals.
