Landlords can generally evict tenants for failure to pay rent, breaching lease terms, holding over after the lease expires, or creating a serious and imminent threat to others or the property.
The notice period varies depending on the reason for eviction. For failure to pay rent, a 10-day notice is common for the demand for rent. Other breaches may require a 30-day notice. For 'holdover' tenants, it can vary from 30 to 90 days depending on the type of tenancy.
In Maryland, a landlord generally cannot demand or receive a security deposit that is more than the equivalent of two months' rent.
Generally, no. Maryland law typically requires landlords to provide reasonable notice before entering a tenant's unit, usually 24 hours, unless there's an emergency or tenant consent.
