Non-renewal Notice Questions in Maryland

Jack Quin
Posted

Hi,

My tenant's lease will be expired in about 4 months. I don't intend to extend the lease because his always late rent payments, changing lock without my approval, allowing additional family members living in the unit. The house is in Anne Arundel County, MD. I know I don't need a reason for non-renewal in Maryland. But, did anybody have tips how to handle this situation appropriately? He changed the front door lock and I still don't have the key right now. He did keep the property clean.

MD laws have changed, you must give 90 days notice on a yearly lease and 60 day notice on month to month lease. Since you are in a year lease, you must give 90 day notice of non-renewal. I'd send this notice by, certified mail, email and text. Because it sounds like this is a special tenant. Good luck!
