Bill > SB635

This bill amends Maryland law regarding landlord entry into leased residential properties, specifically allowing landlords to enter a tenant's dwelling without prior written notice under certain circumstances. Previously, landlords were generally required to provide written notice before entering, except in emergencies. This bill adds two exceptions: a landlord can enter without notice to complete a repair or perform maintenance if the tenant has made a written request for it, and this entry must occur within 7 days of the tenant's request or while the repair is already in progress and being completed in a timely manner. This change aims to streamline the repair and maintenance process for tenants who have initiated such requests.
