Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
I am on a mortgage but not the deed, do I have any rights?

Please resubmit your question with some specifics. If you are on the mortgage, your rights are contained in the mortgage documents. You have some rights, but you need to tell me what the issue is so I can focus the answer.
Best regards.
Your co-owner(s) can decide to sell or lease the property without your consent, since you're not on the deed. The fact that you're on the mortgage constitutes a burden on your credit record and an impediment to your ability to get future financing, and this will especially become a problem if the loan is delinquent. I assume you're also a signatory to the mortgage note (loan), so you are responsible for payment of that along with the other signatories.
