Local condo law blog launched

Here's something to check out if you're a condo owner: Raymond D. Burke, a Baltimore attorney with law firm Ober Kaler, has started blogging about condo issues at Maryland Condo Law Blog. So far he's weighed in on mold, warranties and maintenance.

Burke specializes in construction defect cases.

Other condo-law attorneys see their field as a ripe one for blogging, too. There's a Northwest Condo & HOA Law Blog, for instance, and an Ontario Condo Law Blog.

I want to know if there is a Maryland Law that specify that there must be carpeting on 80% of the floor in a unit in a multi-unit building. And if there is such a law where can I look it up.

Helene, you might try asking Baltimore Neighborhoods Inc., which focuses on landlord-tenant law and issues. Here's the website: http://www.bni-maryland.org
