How To Maryland Notice Eviction: Fill & Download for Free

We have several rentals and have learned the hard way that when the rent is due and they are giving you no money but lots of excuses, you need to start the long process of eviction. Right away, we post the notice on the door or hand it to them.Learn your state's process and follow it perfectly. If you let someone have a few extra days with something, then you start all over from the beginning. The SHORTEST time the eviction process ever took us was three months. Often, it was longer. During those times, the renters never paid any rent.One time, it got to the point that the sheriff gave a renter her notice of the eviction date. He also told us that they would be gone by then. Two days before that date, I drove by the house. She was lounging on the porch. She still had three kids at home and nowhere to move to. Nothing was packed.The eviction morning came and the sheriff and my husband were there. The house had been vacated. “How did you know she'd be gone?” asked my husband.The sheriff explained, “If I come to remove her and her children are there, then I have to call Child Services. They put her kids into foster care, and that means she loses her welfare check. I have never had to call Child Services. They always find somewhere to go.”Where did she go? I never did find out. After almost five months of no rent and many weekly excuses and whining, I was just happy to see her out.

If the tenant doesn't pay rent and the court orders an eviction but the tenant still does not leave the apartment what happens next?After reading the details in the comments, I’m not going to (as some have) assume the reason for asking is to plan out how to get out of paying rent. Also, as others have said, law changes from locality to locality. It’s not about U.S. law, but about the law in your state. (And it could even come down to the law in the community.) I can’t tell you about the law in every state, but I can tell you what it’s like in Virginia, where I live.It’ll vary from state to state and the timing will change, but it gives you a general idea.If a tenant doesn’t pay, they’re sent a late notice with a deadline.If the tenant still doesn’t pay, the landlord gets a court date. The tenant should get a notice of the court date and suit.On the court date, the landlord asks for an unlawful detainer. If they get it, the tenants are now given a date when they lose all rights to access to the apartment. Legally they cannot stay after that date the court sets.If the tenants don’t leave on the date specified in the unlawful detainer, then the landlord gets another court date for an eviction.On the eviction court date, if the landlord is granted an eviction, then an eviction date is set.On the eviction date, at least in Virginia, a deputy will show up, knock on the door and, if the tenant is still there, ask them about any weapons on the premises, confiscate them for the duration, make sure nobody is hiding, escort the tenant (or tenants) out of the apartment, and make sure they cannot interfere. Then the landlord or his representatives remove all the items in the apartment or house. Generally all of this is left at the curbside, so the tenant can still load it into a vehicle and keep it. (I think the wording is that the contents must be placed at the nearest public throughway, so the tenant can get them without actually trespassing. I don’t remember the exact wording and reasoning, though.)Often the tenants have abandoned the rental unit before the eviction date. Sometimes you go there and it’s empty, sometimes you go in and it’s still stuffed with furniture and belongings. Most of the time (in my experience) the tenant is not still there.In Virginia, this generally takes about 60 days from the date of rent due (and not paid) until eviction. I’ve seen answers on Quora indicating it can be faster in other states. Some states include something like the unlawful detainer and some go straight to eviction. I don’t think I’ve seen anything indicating that it takes longer than 60 days in any state, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t.This creates a legal record of the eviction and the tenant still owes the money for the rent for all the time they were in the rental unit. The landlord could file a lawsuit against the tenant and have their wages garnished. Generally they’ll file the papers to protect their right to garnish or collect later if they can’t immediately. Doing so also ensures that debt is on record. Few landlord will want to rent to such a tenant for a good while and it can show up in credit reports and possibly when the tenant applies for a job - if the potential employer does a thorough check.

I assume you have a notice/eviction to leave from the court but before you go to court you leave the home and answer the notice, then nothing will appear upon your rental history but you still have the eviction history that has to be explained to any future real estate agncy or landlord…
