Towson is the Baltimore County seat and has a mix of apartment buildings, older houses, and suburban neighborhoods. Rental housing is common, and rental units turn over regularly.
That turnover is where landlords should think about the state rental lead rules, if the unit was built before 1978. Scheduling an inspection when the unit is empty is easier than trying to arrange it while a new tenant waits to move in. Homeowners with older houses can use the same pros for inspections, repairs and cleanup.
Older houses often have original wood windows and painted trim, which are common places to look for lead. Send a request and we will connect you with local lead pros who work in the Towson area.
Local tips
- Landlords: plan inspections around lease end dates.
- Ask the pro whether they can work around move-out and move-in days.
- Homeowners: check original wood windows first.
- Verify any accreditation with MDE.
