If a Maryland Tenant violates the Lease Agreement for reasons other than non-payment of rent, the Landlord should issue a 30-day notice to quit. The Landlord may give the Tenant the option to cure the violation or vacate the Leased Property.



Maryland Eviction Laws: Notice to Quit for Lease Violations


Under Maryland Law, Landlords can issue a:

  • Maryland 10-Day Notice to Pay Rent: Used whenever a Tenant is behind on rent.
  • Maryland 14-Day Notice to Quit: Issued when a Tenant poses an imminent threat to the property or other individuals
  • Maryland 30-Day Notice to Quit: Issued for all other Lease violations.

When a Landlord issues a 30-day notice to quit, it should include:

  • The Landlord’s and Tenant’s names
  • The property address
  • The date the Lease Agreement was signed
  • The Lease Violation that caused the Landlord to issue the notice
  • Whether or not Tenant has the right to cure the Lease Violation
  • The data by which the Tenant must cure or vacate
  • The consequences for failure to comply with the Notice


The 30-Day Notice is a required step before initiating eviction proceedings.
