The Meaning of "Rent" and Other Key Developments in Landlord-Tenant Law

The Meaning of "Rent" and Other Key Developments in Landlord

Free Learning for Members green background
2024 will mark critical developments in Maryland landlord-tenant law. The Maryland Supreme Court, in a decision expected to be issued before the MSBA Legal Summit, will clarify the statutory definition of “rent” in all residential leases under state law, as well as whether and when landlords can charge tenants fees related to the late payment of rent. Meanwhile, the General Assembly has passed legislation providing (for the first time) low-income tenants with access to an attorney in eviction cases, requiring landlords to send notice prior to filing for eviction, and mandating that landlords plead and demonstrate compliance with applicable licensure and lead safety laws when filing for eviction. This program will explore these litigation and legislative developments, focusing on both the practical implications (for landlords and tenants) as well as the key legal issues that will arise going forward in light of the Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling.

One hour credit will be offered for the surrounding MCLE states of Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
