Need to do anything legal to enter property tenant vacated?

The wife, my tenant, left in a semi with the kids and all the furniture to another state.  She left the non-working husband at my property.  He is agreeing to leave in about a week or so with his desk and 4 boxes, which is all he has now.  I told him as soon as he's out I will stop eviction proceedings.  I don't care about the rent money at this point, just want to get him out of there.  When he's gone should I just take over the property or have all of us sign a form saying we're legally done with this arrangement?  What form would this be if I have to do that?  It's hard to get in touch with either of them so even signing a form will be a pretty big effort.  I'm inclined to just take over the property and do none of that but don't want any of them coming back and saying I locked them out or something to that effect.  I don't think they'll do that but you never know.

@Tom Ziebro

I live in Maryland too. Each county's rental laws are different and this is what I'm referring to. For example, there is an extra step or two to evict someone in Baltimore City than Baltimore County.

As for the rain tax, there are talks of Hogan trying to repeal that.

Finally, I can't help but question a source's validity when it has things like a constantly updating ticker by the second saying, X amount "of adjusted gross income lost in the last 2 minutes and 39 seconds." 

How has MD become less and less investor friendly every day for you? I'm interested in hearing your experience. 

I started my LLC in 2012 and had no problems investing, even as a new LLC. Any hurdles I encountered had nothing to do with the state, but had to do with companies (insurance and such) that either didn't know what they were talking about or weren't actually investor friendly even though their website said they were.

Is MD perfect? No. No place is. Is MD "all that bad"? Nope, it definitely isn't.
