Multifamily Dwellings - Smoking Policies

Maryland's SB 108 requires governing bodies of condominiums and cooperative housing communities (common ownership communities) with four or more dwelling units to create written smoking policies. These policies must specify where smoking is allowed or prohibited (including common areas like hallways and elevators), outline complaint procedures, and detail penalties for violations. The policies must meet or exceed existing state and local smoking laws but do not override stricter local ordinances. This applies to both owner-occupied units and rental properties within these communities.
