Maryland eviction research

State context for eviction filings, plus directories of Maryland counties and major cities. Cited volumes come from named public sources — never from a fabricated local count.

What a filing means in Maryland

An eviction filing is a court case asking a judge for possession of a rental unit. It is not a lockout. Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, and removing belongings without a court process are illegal. Local courts and executing offices set their own calendars — we do not publish guaranteed timelines.

Maryland failure-to-pay-rent and tenant-holding-over cases are typically heard in the District Court of Maryland for the county (or Baltimore City).

EvictIQ operational timestamps (service attempts, writ applications, setout windows) are not claimed for this state. What follows is process education and public-source geography, not a field-coverage claim.

None of this is legal advice. Statutes, local rules, and court practice change.

Sources for any judgment or rate figures: Princeton Eviction Lab 2016 rankings (rankings tool). Geography: U.S. Census Bureau county and place files.

Major cities

No Eviction Lab 2016 city ranking row is attached to the cities listed below. We do not invent a substitute figure. See Eviction Lab.

Counties and county-equivalents

Every Maryland county-equivalent has a page. Templates are intentionally thin: a filing is a court case, not a lockout, and we do not invent a county filing total when we do not have one.

Eviction Labs publishes geography and method. Eviction services — if you need them — live on sister sites, not as the point of these pages.
