State Specific Question About: MARYLAND (MD)
When a renter is given 30day written notice to vacate, are they not responsible for that months rent? The contract with them to lease was an oral agreement which they insist is enforcible. So why shouldn't the whole contract be enforcible ? --24.89.xx.xxx |

If MD recognizes oral contracts, they are enforceable. And yes, if the tenant agrees you have an oral lease, I'm quite sure a judge would order them to pay the rent.
Collecting it is another matter entirely. --173.22.xx.xx |

Yes, in Maryland when a lease is not present, the automatic default is the Maryland landlord tenant code.
So your notice should be in writing, it can not be oral.
The tenant has the obligation to pay the last month's rent.
You can search Baltimore neighborhoods. There is a state wide call in number that will give you more information.

Oral agreements are enforceable everywhere under Common Law. The issue is, was there an agreement and what did it say.
If the tenant has been paying rent regularly, proof of that fact and the amount demonstrates the existence of a contract including the amount of rent. Generally, tenant owes rent for all nights that they occupy the premises, and perhaps more, but BE SURE to check the wording of your 30 day notice.

You would take the unpaid damages and rent from the security/damage deposit along with the leftover utility bills. --75.94.xxx.xxx |
