Reply to comment by caro822 in Rent price fixing in Baltimore by TitsMageesVacation

you mentioned that the law changed over the summer, but do you know when the eblow became law? My lease states I have to give 60 days but they only have to give 30. If it was more than 10 months ago they had this in my lease illegally.

§8–501.

No written agreement between a landlord and tenant shall provide for a longer notice period to be furnished by the tenant to the landlord in order to terminate the tenancy than that required of the landlord to the tenant in order to terminate the tenancy.

So, at my job, soon as the law was enacted over the summer, we had it apply to all leases. So even if someone had a lease that said 60 days, we only required 30. Again, my company’s main deal is “what will hold up in court?” If there’s precedence of a judge ruling with the tenant they stop enforcing a rule.

Well I just picked this fight, so fingers crossed.

This has been really helpful for me, I know it would be for a lot of people dealing with these large land lords.
