What types of eviction notices are legally acceptable?

In Maryland, there are three types of eviction notices that are legally acceptable. These are: 1. Pay or Quit Notice: This type of eviction notice is given to tenants who have failed to pay their rent on time. This notice gives the tenant a certain number of days (as specified in Maryland state law) to pay the full amount of rent that is due or move out of the rental unit. 2. Cure or Quit Notice: This type of eviction notice is given to tenants who are in violation of their rental agreement, such as making too much noise or having too many people living in the rental unit. This notice gives the tenant a certain number of days (as specified in Maryland state law) to correct the violation or move out of the rental unit. 3. Unconditional Quit Notice: This type of eviction notice is given to tenants who have failed to pay their rent on time or violated their rental agreement more than once. This notice does not give the tenant any time to correct the violation or pay the rent. Rather, the tenant must move out within a certain number of days (as specified in Maryland state law). Landlords must use these legally acceptable eviction notices, and follow the specific state laws, for any tenant evictions. Failure to do so could result in hefty fines or lawsuits for the landlord.
