Expedites wrongful detainer proceedings for properties listed for sale or lease.

Maryland HB59 modifies wrongful detainer proceedings for properties listed for sale or lease, requiring expedited court actions and immediate hearings. If the property is listed for sale or lease, the District Court must summon the person in possession to appear before the court within a specified timeframe. If the person in possession cannot be found, the court must issue a ruling within a set number of business days after the hearing. The bill also mandates that if the court rules in favor of the complainant, a warrant must be issued within hours to the sheriff for execution.
