Section 29-27(w) of the Montgomery County Code requires that all licensed landlords attach the Lease Summary to each new lease.
Montgomery County Lease Renewal Amendment (1210) The title was changed; the renewal notice period was changed from 60 to 90 days; the rent increases section was modified; there are now one-year and two-year extension options.
Note: Under current law, a landlord may refuse to renew a one-year lease or longer for any reason, including retaliation EXCEPT for certain government-subsidized tenants. Talk to an attorney for more information.
A “notice to vacate” from your landlord is not a court order. This is the written notice that a landlord must give you at least one month before your lease ends if they want you to move out at the end of the lease. If you do not move out, your landlord must go to court to try to evict you.
On average, it would take anywhere between 32 days – 5 months for a complete eviction process. Give your tenant a written Notice to Vacate prior to the eviction process. Make sure no mistakes were made in the filing process.
