Real Property - Actions for Wrongful Detainer - Required Postings

HB 867 requires property owners to conspicuously post a notice against trespass or loitering on real property before filing a wrongful detainer lawsuit (used to evict unlawful occupants). Without this posted notice, the court cannot proceed with the case, directly affecting landlords and property owners who rely on this legal process for eviction. The bill amends Maryland law to add this posting requirement as a prerequisite for wrongful detainer actions, replacing previous provisions that allowed such lawsuits without notice. This change ensures clear notification to potential trespassers before legal action is taken.
