Maryland Lease Termination Letter

A Maryland lease termination letter gives a tenant written notice that their tenancy is ending. Landlords must usually give 60 days’ notice for month-to-month rentals, which is longer than in most states. Sending it first-class with a USPS certificate of mailing gives the landlord proof to show the court.
