Maryland Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Maryland Landlord Kit, Maryland Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Maryland: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Maryland, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Maryland kits are built only from our Maryland data files: Maryland data files, checked November 2026 against 5 official pages, among them Maryland General Assembly: Real Property 8-203 (current statute text); Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development: Maryland Tenants' Bill of Rights (effective October 1, 2026); Maryland Courts: Housing Cases; Maryland Courts: Rent Court for Landlords Part 2, I Won in Rent Court, Now What?; District Court of Maryland: How to File a Small Claim (DC-CV-001BR, rev. 10/2023); Maryland small claims data file, checked November 2026 against District Court of Maryland: How to File a Small Claim (DC-CV-001BR, rev. 10/2023).
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the Maryland kits carry the state rules.

What is inside

• Maryland Landlord Compliance Kit. The Maryland landlord-tenant rules in one package: deposit capped at 1 month of rent; deposit returned within 45 days; 60-day notice to end month-to-month; 10-day notice for unpaid rent. Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: No more than one month's rent per unit, regardless of the number of tenants; up to two months if the tenant qualifies for Department of Human Services utility assistance, the lease has the tenant pay utilities to the landlord, and both agree in writing (8-203(b)); return deadline: Within 45 days after the tenancy ends: the deposit with interest, less damages rightfully withheld (8-203(e)); itemized list of deductions: A written list of damages claimed with itemized costs, sent by first-class mail to the tenant's last known address within 45 days; costs need supporting documents, which may be an estimate, with the final invoice after repairs (8-203(g), (j), (k)); interest on the deposit: Simple interest at the greater of the one-year U.S; where the deposit is held: Within 30 days of receipt, in a federally insured institution doing business in Maryland, in an in-state branch, in an account used only for deposits; or in insured certificates of deposit or government securities (8-203(d)); penalty the law states: Up to three times the amount withheld plus reasonable attorney fees, where the landlord had no reasonable basis (8-203(e)(4)); up to three times any excess charged over the limit (8-203(b)(3)); ending month-to-month (landlord): At least 60 days' written notice; ending month-to-month (tenant): At least 30 days' written notice, unless the lease requires more. How to use the kit, the 17 confirmed Maryland rules at a glance and the 6 items to confirm: filing fee, time to answer or appear, hearing after filing, judgment to writ, right to counsel (statewide), diversion or mediation (statewide), each with the official page to check. The Maryland case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates.
• Maryland Small Claims Court Kit. In Maryland, small claims (District Court of Maryland (small claims)) cover claims up to $5,000. From the official page: $5,000 or less, for money only, and without discovery such as interrogatories. How to use the kit, the 6 confirmed Maryland facts at a glance, what we couldn't confirm (filing fees, appeal, online filing) with the page to check, and a yes/no checklist: is the amount under $5,000, is it the right court, is there someone to serve and something to collect from. Service: Certified mail, private process server, constable or sheriff. The defendant generally has 15 days to file a Notice of Intention to Defend (60 days if served out of state or through a state agency). Lawyers are allowed. A claim calculator that adds up your items and compares the total with $5,000, a costs sheet, a deadline sheet in business days that skips weekends and federal holidays, and a collection tracker with the balance owed.
