Hi there.

I am a little confused in the wordings of Anne Arundel (AA) county website for rental rules and laws. I just acquired a 1950 town home in brooklyn park and not sure whether all rules apply to me or not. The AA county is mentioning ONE AND TWO FAMILY DWELLINGS Requirements. I think two family dwelling is a duplex but does a one family dwelling mean single family home and a town home or just a single family home? The house has paneling in living room as well as in master bedroom. I want to leave them as is as they are in excellent shape but if the laws apply to my property, I have to get them removed and have drywall installed. Just like I want to installed battery operated smoke detectors but I would have to install hard wired if the rules apply to me. I am sharing a link as well. The requirements are half way down the page. Thanks in advance.
