New Maryland Landlord-Tenant Law Effective October 1, 2023
Calling Law Enforcement or Emergency Services No Longer Grounds for Termination
Pursuant to Senate Bill 214, which takes effect on October 1, 2023, Section 8-208 of the Real Property Article which governs prohibited lease provisions has been amended to prohibit a form of lease that limits the ability of a tenant to summons law enforcement or emergency services, and/or penalizes a tenant for summonsing law enforcement or emergency services.
