The Ground Rent Redemption Loan Program was created by the Maryland General
Assembly in 2007 to provide loans to homeowners to buy out (redeem) ground
leases. A "ground lease" is a lease for a term of years (usually 99 years) that
is renewable forever and is subject to the periodic payment of "ground rent" by
the leasehold tenant to the ground lease holder. Ground rents are most
prevalent in Baltimore City but are held in some other counties as well. The
program cannot provide grants for this purpose.
