Lead Inspections for Landlords in Baltimore

Stay Compliant. Protect Your Tenants. Keep Your Rentals Moving.

If your rental property was built before 1978, Maryland law requires you to have a valid lead inspection certificate before you can rent it out. At Charm City Lead and Rental Inspection, we make that process fast, affordable, and stress-free—so you can stay focused on running your business.

Why Baltimore Landlords Need Lead Inspections

Under Maryland law, all pre-1978 rental properties must be inspected for lead-based paint hazards before every new tenant moves in. Skipping this step can delay your rental license, trigger legal issues, or even open you up to liability if a tenant is exposed.

Lead-based paint, even after decades, can still chip or flake—especially around windows, doors, and trim—and lead dust is a serious health hazard, especially for young children.

We help landlords stay ahead of it all with:

  • Lead-Free or Limited Lead Risk Certificates

  • Fast Scheduling & Quick Turnaround Times

  • Clear Reports with Photos & Lab Results

  • Support for MDE Registration and Compliance

Our Process – Simple, Fast, Compliant

  1. Walkthrough Inspection – We check all painted surfaces and high-risk areas.

  2. Dust Sampling – We take wipe samples from key spots and send them to an accredited lab.

  3. Certification – Once cleared, you’ll receive the official MDE lead certificate, ready for license submission.

We also help you stay on track with re-certifications and new tenant move-ins.
