HB 62 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Anne Arundel County - Summons for Actions to Repossess for Failure to Pay Rent - Alterations

HB 62 modifies eviction notice procedures for unpaid rent cases in Anne Arundel County. It requires the District Court to direct eviction notices to constables or sheriff’s designees (who now have the same authority as sheriffs) and mandates that notices be posted conspicuously at the property address. This affects landlords, tenants, and law enforcement handling eviction cases in Anne Arundel County. The bill standardizes service methods to ensure tenants are properly notified of court hearings for rent nonpayment.
