Wicomico County, Maryland Local Lease Compliance Addendum

$19.00

This addendum is designed for residential rental properties located in Wicomico County, Maryland, including properties within incorporated municipalities such as Salisbury, Fruitland, Delmar, Hebron, Mardela Springs, Pittsville, Sharptown, and Willards, and is intended to be used in conjunction with a Maryland-compliant residential lease.

Wicomico County enforces a countywide Housing and Property Maintenance Code that establishes minimum standards for residential occupancy, habitability, safety, and sanitation. In addition, several municipalities within the County maintain local property maintenance, inspection, or occupancy requirements. These local requirements are not fully addressed in a standard statewide lease. This addendum incorporates those County and municipal obligations directly into the lease documentation to help landlords and property managers demonstrate compliance with applicable law.
