Summary of Maryland Law
The topics below are based on what is called
the "Maryland Code" which contains the general laws passed by the
Maryland legislature, the General Assembly. The Landlord Tenant law
can be found in Title 8 of the Real Property Article of the Maryland
Code. Most public libraries and offices of county counsels and
incorporated towns have copies of the Code.
Although the law changes regularly, below are
recent summaries of Landlord-Tenant law in Maryland.
