Sources of Law
The "law" that applies to a particular situation is rarely found in just one place. The following describes how the various sources of law interact and notes where you can find the actual law.
Federal law — These are the laws passed by Congress. Landlord tenant issues are generally decided by your state rather than the federal law, however the federal law does address certain issues such as housing discrimination. The federal law also provides subsidies to rental housing through special programs. In these areas, the federal law will determine your rights. There will also be state sources of law but they cannot conflict with the federal law.
State law - This is called the "Maryland Code". ... The Landlord Tenant law can be found in Title 8 of the Real Property Article of the Maryland Code. ...
Local law — In addition to the state law and the federal law, political subdivisions such as counties and incorporated municipalities may have also passed laws or regulations.
