Cal. Civ. Code § 8-906
Md. Code Ann., Real Property Art. Title 8 — Landlord and Tenant
Operative Text
MLSC shall designate and contract with appropriate community groups to conduct outreach and provide education to tenants locally and throughout the State regarding tenants’ rights and the access to legal representation under this subtitle.
Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8-906, the Maryland Legal Services Corporation (MLSC) is directed to identify and enter into contracts with community organizations that will carry out outreach and educational activities aimed at informing tenants—both locally and statewide—about their legal rights and their ability to obtain legal representation under this subtitle. The provision establishes a structured, community-based mechanism for spreading awareness of tenant protections rather than relying solely on government agencies. It does not create a direct benefit or entitlement on its own, but it supports the broader framework of tenant access to legal resources.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8-906 does not impose direct obligations on landlords, but it signals that tenants across Maryland are increasingly likely to be informed of their rights and access to legal representation through state-funded community outreach. Property owners and managers operating in Maryland should be aware that the educational infrastructure established under this provision means tenants may be better equipped to identify and assert their rights. Compliant operators generally maintain transparent practices and documentation precisely because tenant awareness and legal access are actively supported by the state.

Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8-906, MLSC is required to partner with community organizations to ensure that tenants like you have access to information about your rights and about legal representation available under this subtitle. If you are unaware of what rights apply to your tenancy or how to access legal help, reaching out to a local community group or tenant-rights organization in your area may connect you with resources funded or coordinated through this provision. You may also contact MLSC directly or a local legal aid office to learn more about the outreach programs operating in your region.
