A:
Hotels typically operate on different rules than landlords but Text MDHomeless to 898-211 to get information and help for emergency shelter options in Maryland. (this is run by a non-profit coalition of several different agencies). Or call 2-1-1 (the call is free, they take calls 24/7 and they can connect you to resources in your area)
While not technically legal assistance, your post suggests an immediate need for housing rather than a need for a legal advocate.
