Cal. Civ. Code § 6-813
Md. Code Ann., Environment Art. Title 6, Subtitle 8 — Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
Operative Text
(a) An owner who fails to register an affected property under § 6-811 of this subtitle, or who fails to renew the registration of an affected property under § 6-812 of this subtitle, is not in compliance with respect to that affected property with the provisions of this subtitle for purposes of § 6-836 of this subtitle. (b) A person who willfully and knowingly falsifies information filed in a registration or renewal under this part is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to a fine not exceeding $2,000.
Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-813, Maryland law establishes two distinct consequences related to lead-paint property registration. An owner who fails to register or renew registration of an affected property is deemed out of compliance for purposes of the liability protections described elsewhere in the subtitle. Additionally, anyone who deliberately provides false information in a registration or renewal filing may face criminal misdemeanor charges and a fine of up to $2,000 upon conviction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-813 makes clear that compliant operators keep their affected property registrations current and ensure all information submitted in registration and renewal filings is accurate and truthful. Failing to register or renew strips the property owner of the compliance status that is tied to certain protections under the subtitle. Submitting knowingly false information goes beyond a civil matter and can result in criminal misdemeanor liability, including a fine of up to $2,000.

Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-813 gives tenants a basis to examine whether their landlord has properly registered the affected property, since an unregistered or lapsed registration means the owner is out of compliance under the subtitle. This compliance status can be relevant to other rights and remedies available elsewhere in the lead-paint subtitle. Tenants who have questions about their landlord's registration status may consult local housing authorities, Maryland's Department of the Environment, or a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
