Room 348:  2:15 PM to 3:30 PM

There have been significant changes to landlord tenant law via statute and case law in recent years. These include: rental license requirements, 60 day notice to vacate, notice of intent to file, the Tenant Safety Act, changes to autorenewal provisions in leases, failure to pay rent cases being considered debt collection matters, to name a few. The panel will discuss how the panel is seeing these changes implemented in various jurisdictions and how the changes are effecting tenants in Maryland.
