Hagerstown MD Failure to Pay + Holdover
Hey BP! I posted this in a different forum but haven't gotten any responses so I wanted to try here.
I'm looking for some information for my duplex in Hagerstown, MD. Our upstairs tenant has not paid rent for February or March. I filed for non-payment of rent on Monday, and the set court date isn't until May. The tenants lease ends on 3/31, and I gave her notice back in January (60 day notice) that I would not be renewing her lease. The problem I foresee is the tenant holding over until the court date in May.
My question is this: can I file for holding over after 3/31 if I already filed for non-payment of rent? This would mean I have two 'complaints' about her at the same time. Is this doable in Maryland?
Also, let me know if you have any recommendations on real estate attorneys here in Hagerstown.
Thanks for any advice!
