Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Re: Tenant property

I suggest you write a letter to the former roommate and give her a deadline to pick up her property, after which you will assume that it is her intention to abandon the property and will treat it as such. You could then dispose of it as you see fit. If you don't want her physically in the premises to retrieve the remaining items, you'll have to make some arrangement with her to deliver them somewhere where she can gain possession.

Re: Tenant property

Notify the former roommate that she no longer has a place to store her personal items for, among other things, non-payment of rent and, apparently, recision of the oral lease. Stipulate a time period for her to come and retrieve her belongings and tell her that the property will be otherwise treated as abandoned. Tell her that the abandoned property will be available for a reasonable time, say 30 days. All mailings should be sent return receipt requested with personal delivery being the only accepted means of receipt of your certified mail. The post office will assist you.
