It depends on what city or county you are located in within and Maryland and what type of property you live in. Some cities and counties in Maryland require a landlord to purchase a license, others don't. In the cities and counties that do require the license, it typically only applies if the building has a certain number of units in it. In short, I would need additional information to fully answer your question.
