MD HB767

Landlords must provide written notice to tenants at least 6 days before a scheduled eviction date, delivered by first-class mail with certificate of mailing and posted on the front door with a date-stamped photograph

Notice must include the court case number, tenant name, property address, warrant date, scheduled eviction date, redemption amount if applicable, and a statement directing tenants to call 211 or contact the District Court Help Center for legal assistance

If the landlord knows the tenant's email or cellphone number, the notice must also be sent electronically via email or text message

Sheriffs may refuse to execute warrants of restitution if they reasonably believe proper notice was not provided or the tenant may have redeemed the property, and courts must vacate warrants if notice requirements were not met

Local jurisdictions may adjust the notice period to between 4 and 14 days, and tenants who prevail on violations are entitled to actual damages, attorney's fees, and injunctive relief; effective October 1, 2025
