The Maryland eviction process has some unusual aspects that favor the landlord in most respects. Most reasons for evictions are for nonpayment of rent. While most states give a tenant just a few days to a few weeks to comply with a notice to quit for failure to pay rent, the Maryland eviction process does not specify a notice period. check to learn more.
Eviction Notices for Nonpayment of Rent in Maryland
Failing to pay rent is a common reason for a landlord to evict a tenant. In Maryland, a landlord can begin the eviction process as soon as a tenant fails to pay rent when it is due. A landlord will start the eviction lawsuit by filing a complaint in the district court of the county where the rental property is located. check to learn more.
