Disclosure Form and Stigmatized Properties in Maryland
Stigmatized properties in Maryland have a special type of treatment in the Maryland Code. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) defines “stigmatized property” as that which has been “psychologically impacted by an event which occurred or was suspected to have occurred on the property, such event being one that has no physical impact of any kind.” In other words, something happened in that property that didn’t affect the physical condition of the property but could have an emotional or psychological impact on people. Events such as violent murders, human trafficking or famous adulteries that took place in the property fit this category.
