Maryland Landlord Tenant Lawyer: Landlord Notice to Vacate and Termination of Lease

I have encountered instances where a Maryland landlord has attempted to terminate a lease with a tenant before the end of the lease agreement. There are circumstances under which this is appropriate. The lease controls many of the landlord’s obligations, including notice and cause to terminate the lease.

If a lease has expired and the tenant is on a month-to-month agreement, then the landlord is required, by most county laws in Maryland, to provide 60 days written notice. This is true in Montgomery County as well as in Baltimore city. If you do not have a written lease, then either the landlord or tenant can terminate the tenancy.
