Your situation, stage by stage
Pick the situation that is yours and put in each date once, on the stage it belongs to. The page shows the stage you are at and the period the statutes set after it, with whose period it is and the section it comes from. It says what the law sets, never what to do about it.
All of it runs in this browser. The dates are the same ones Your clock and your case file hold, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. What this site records.
Stage 1 · What the statutes set next
The tenant notifies the landlord by certified mail with the moving date and the new address, and the landlord then gives the inspection date by certified mail, within five days before or after the moving date.
Stage 2 · Later in the statutes
The landlord returns the deposit with simple interest, less damages rightfully withheld, and mails any list of damages and itemized costs within the same 45 days; one who fails without a reasonable basis is liable for up to threefold of the withheld amount, plus reasonable attorney's fees.
Stage 3 · Later in the statutes
The date of: The tenancy endingThe same date as stage 2, so it is counted from there once that date is in.
A tenant charged more than the law allows may recover up to three times the extra amount plus reasonable attorney's fees, at any time during the tenancy or within 2 years after it ends.
What the law asks of each side between them, a step at a time: The Certified Letters
A date put in here is the same date on Your clock and in your case file, and Add to calendar puts it in your own calendar with reminders. It stays in this browser.
Every stage here is a period on the clock. A situation that is not listed may still have its periods there, and Your clock counts any one of them from a date.
MyRightz is legal education, not legal advice. Nothing here creates an attorney client relationship. Applying the law to a particular situation is the work of a licensed Maryland attorney.
