MD SB758

Elections for condominium and homeowners association governing bodies must be conducted by independent parties who are not candidates and have no conflicts of interest; property management representatives generally cannot serve as independent parties unless the management is owned by the association.

Unit and lot owners cannot be charged fees for examining financial statements in person at the designated location or for receiving financial statements via electronic transmission.

Governing bodies must make reasonable accommodations, including use of common areas, for unit owners to engage in organizing activities related to condominium governance, and may not retaliate against owners exercising their legal rights.

The Division of Consumer Protection of the Office of the Attorney General receives expanded authority to enforce condominium and homeowners association laws and may adopt regulations to carry out these provisions.

The law takes effect October 1, 2025, and any governing documents, rules, or regulations inconsistent with the new election requirements are void and unenforceable.
