The process of filing a Maryland eviction is no less difficult than other standard legal cases. In order to remove the tenant from property, the landlord must proceed through a series of legal steps. To begin, the landlord must first identify a reason for eviction. Any violations of either the lease or landlord tenant law can serve as a reason for eviction. The landlord's next action should be to issue the tenant with a notice, specifying the violation that has occur ed as well as the length of the notice. For nonpayment of rent or other breaches of the lease, the standard notice period that must be used is 3 days. After the notice period has passed, the landlord can file summons with the court, which will result in a hearing being scheduled. At this point,the tenant and landlord will need to appear in court, where a judgment will be made regarding the eviction.
