Southern Maryland Evictions

Do you have a tenant who is not paying rent in your property? An eviction is costly and the best way to avoid an eviction is a thorough tenant screening. Real Property Managements screening process is the best in the industry. As a company we evict less then 2 percent of our tenants nationwide. Most of the evictions we file are taken over from landlords who tried to manage there own properties and other property management companies.

In Southern Maryland an Eviction is one of the toughest, time consuming, and costly processes in the Property Management Industry. It involves 2 processes.

  1. The legal filings.
  2. The physical eviction process.

The Maryland Legal Filings of Eviction

The legal filings. This includes at least 3 trips to the courthouse.

  1. File Complaint in court for Repossession of rental property. A court date will be assigned. This court date will be within 30 days.
  2. Court Appearance, the landlord or landlords representative must be present.
  3. Filing of a Warrant of Restitution 4 days after court order if tenant does not vacate the property. Once this is filed the sheriff will set an eviction date and time within 30 days.
