Maryland HB858 sets the timeline for hearings in wrongful detainer actions and outlines procedures for serving notice.
Maryland HB858 mandates that hearings in wrongful detainer actions must occur within a specified number of business days after a complaint is filed. If the person in possession cannot be located after two attempts, the authorized individual must file an affidavit and mail a notice to the last known address. The bill also defines wrongful detainer as holding property without the right to do so and specifies conditions under which a person may hold possession.
