Frequently Asked Questions: Maryland Rent Proration

If you have a fixed-term 12-month lease that ends on the last day of the month and you choose to leave early without landlord consent, you are generally liable for full rent until a new tenant moves in or the term expires. However, if you are on a month-to-month tenancy and provide a lawful 60-day notice under Md. Code Real Prop. § 8-402, you are only legally liable for rent through the expiration date of your notice.

Under Maryland statutes, landlords must return your security deposit within 45 Days following key surrender, along with an itemized accounting of any deductions made for unpaid rent or lawful repairs beyond normal wear and tear.
