FAQ
If a guest or squatter refuses to leave, you may ask the court to issue an order to remove them by filing a "wrongful detainer" action in District Court. The article describes the process of going to rent court. Landlords can take their tenants to rent court to evict them for nonpayment of rent.
It takes about 5 to 60 days from the issuance of the Notice to Quit, depending on the reason for eviction and the lease agreement.
(a) In this section, “wrongful detainer” means to hold possession of real property without the right of possession.
Under Maryland's adverse possession law, an individual must occupy property for at least 20 years before the possibility of ownership.
Hello, To remove your ex from your house, Maryland law requires a judicial eviction. You cannot legally lock her out without a court order. Regardless of whether an occupant pays rent or has a lease, Maryland law requires that he be treated as a tenant.

Squatters are trespassing and subject to eviction by the property owner if they violate the conditions set forth by adverse possession. In Maryland, it is against the law for landowners to evict squatters on their own; they must do it through the judicial system.
There are two effective means for removal of squatters: Eviction (which can only be initiated by the property owner/agent) and an order to vacate pursuant to a residence being declared unfit for habitation.
You can head to the county's District Court. They'll be the one to send summons. If the court favors the landlord's case, there will be an order sent to the County sheriff. The task of removing the squatter will be in the sheriff's hands provided the squatter does not make an appeal.
Whenever the landlord has given the occupants the proper written notice to vacate the premises, and the occupant does not comply, the landlord may make a complaint in writing to the District Court of the county where the property is located.
