Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Maryland

To adequately answer this question an attorney would need to review the specific lease involved. What constitutes default, what kind of notice (and opportunity to cure) must be given, etc. are all negotiated terms that should be written into the particular lease. If default has occurred and notice has been given under the lease, the Landlord can then sue the Tenant. Suit would be filed in the county where the property is located and once the court issues summons, both the summons and the complaint would need to be served on the defendant. The District Court has jurisdiction over landlord/tenant matters of any amount. The district court will set a court date after suit is filed and will generally re-schedule the trial if the defendant files an answer / notice of intention to defend.

I hope that this general information helps but please note it is not specific legal advice. The particular facts of your situation may affect how the law applies to you. You may wish to contact an attorney in this area to review your case and/or the particular lease involved.
