Q: How do you remove a tenant from your home in Oxon Hill Maryland
I have a Durable POA on my brother who recently allowed a woman to rent out his extra bedroom. The woman was to leave in December 2021 and now he cannot get her to vacate his residence.
A:
You and/or your brother will need to give her 60 days notice to vacate (make it effective the first of the month {ie April 1st, 2022}. If she doesn't leave, then you would have to file a tenant holding over action with the Courts.
Alternatively, if she hasn't paid rent and if you have a rental license and/or your city/county doesn't require one, you can give notice of your intention to file a Failure to Pay rent and file one.
