A Maryland room rental agreement is a legally binding document a primary tenant and a secondary tenant enter so the secondary tenant can reside in a single room on the property. It states the rules and regulations so all tenants can navigate living together.
Even though the secondary tenant won’t be on the primary lease agreement, they’ll still receive protection with this document. It outlines guidelines for rental payments, security deposits, and descriptions of the space each party can occupy. Please note that the primary tenant should have all roommates complete a rental application to gauge their suitability for the living arrangement.
Title 8 of the Code of Maryland contains various provisions that allow landlords to infer the difference between a guest and a tenant. By analyzing multiple statutes together, they can declare a guest becomes a tenant when the guest pays a portion of rent or provides services to live at the property.
