Silver Spring, MD asked in Landlord - Tenant for Maryland

Q: my lease expired April of 2023 and my landlord failed to give me a new lease to sign, do I technically owe 60 day notice

I signed a lease for one year with an end date of April 2023 and have been told the price have increased for my new lease starting may 2023. I have waited 6 months for a new lease and I am now trying to move and is being told I need to give a 60 day notice. I have not signed a new lease to have to give 60 days notice

A: You will need to review your old lease to see what happens when the lease expires and how much notice you need to give.

Leonard A Englander agrees with this answer

A: A lot will depend on what type of notice requirement your prior lease imposed. If, for instance, it requires 60 days notice to terminate by the Tenant as well, then yes, you would have to give 60 days notice.
