Maryland Notice of Rent Increase
Give written notice before raising rent on a Maryland tenancy. Follow the lease and Maryland notice rules. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
- A month-to-month tenancy generally takes 30 days’ written notice, and some longer occupancies take 60 days (Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8-402).
- This notice is not an eviction and not a new lease.
- City rent-control or just-cause rules may still limit the increase.
