Q: I filed a complaint with the county building inspector and my landlord served me a 90 day notice to vacate.
We signed our lease November 13, 2019 and have been on a year to year lease since. My landlord served us a notice to vacate by April 30th. I have four children, three in school and I need to know of what he is doing is legal?
A: It depends. Based on what your describing, you might have grounds to claim retaliation. However, the Landlord might be able to counter and provide a reasonable alternative explanation. In short, you should contact an attorney, as retaliation defenses are tricky.
A: What county is your rental home located in? (If the county is Prince Georges, additionally what city is your rental home located?)
