The intent of the General Assembly of Maryland is to
facilitate the orderly development of condominiums in Maryland.
The General Assembly recognizes, however, that the conversion of
rental dwellings to condominiums can have an adverse impact on
the availability of rental units, resulting in the displacement
of tenants.

(b) Upon finding and declaration of a rental housing
emergency caused by the conversion of rental housing to
condominiums, a county or an incorporated municipality may by the
enactment of laws, ordinances, and regulations, take the
following actions to meet the emergency:

(3)  Require that the notice required to be given
under § 11-102.1 OF THIS TITLE be altered to disclose the effects
of any actions taken under this section.
