Lease Agreements in Baltimore, MD

[Brett Sheeran]

I just bought a single-family townhouse in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm looking to rent out two of the rooms. This is my first rental property and I want to make sure that I have all of the right language and protections in the lease agreement. Any resources or examples that the bigger pockets community can share with me on this topic would be great! Thanks in advance!

If you are a Bigger Pockets Pro member, they have free lease agreements for every state that you can download. Also, there were a lot of recent changes to the landlord tenant laws in MD, so make sure you familiarize yourself with those. (For example, you must now include the MD "Tenant Bill of Rights" in all of your lease agreements.) I agree with Brett that if this is your first time, it would be worth hiring an attorney to create a lease agreement for you that you can just reuse...
