Calvert County, Maryland Local Lease Compliance Addendum

$19.00

This addendum is designed for residential rental properties located in Calvert County, Maryland, including properties within the incorporated towns of Chesapeake Beach and North Beach, and is intended to be used in conjunction with a Maryland-compliant residential lease.

Calvert County enforces a countywide Minimum Livability Code that establishes legally enforceable standards for residential occupancy, habitability, sanitation, safety, and structural maintenance. In addition, certain municipalities within the County maintain local housing, inspection, or rental-related ordinances that may impose additional obligations on landlords. These local requirements are not fully addressed in a standard statewide lease. This addendum incorporates those County and municipal requirements directly into the lease documentation to help landlords and property managers demonstrate compliance with applicable law.
