    I think that is a great market with good cash flow.  Anyone doe this type of short/long rental with lead based paint in Baltimore as most things in the city have lead based paint. Is there a time to renew the Lead safe certification rather than with each new tenant?

    @Preetika Sidhu You still have to renew yearly.  Thankfully if you provide a good home and are fair with your rent and don't try to overcharge many traveling professionals will stay a year or even longer.

    @Sean Monahan- thanks for the information.  Are there any short term rental licenses needed in Baltimore City.  My understanding after speaking to MDE that if the rental is less than 90 days, it is considered transient and a lead safe certificate is not needed but can be done for the tenant's reassurance.  But longer than 90 days, then the lead safe certificate is needed.  So you have been renewing yearly?
