Eviction Process

Verify Compliance – Rental License Requirement

Before beginning the Calvert County Eviction Process, verify that your rental property is properly licensed. A valid Calvert County rental license is required before you can file an eviction case in the Rent Court for Calvert County. Without this license, your case may be dismissed.

Determine the Legal Grounds for Eviction

The most common reasons for eviction in Calvert County, Maryland, include:

• Non-payment of rent
• Breach of lease (e.g., unauthorized occupants, property damage)
• Holding over (tenant refuses to leave after lease expires)

Always confirm your grounds for eviction under Maryland state law before taking legal action.

Serve the Required Eviction Notice

Depending on the reason for eviction, landlords must provide an appropriate notice before filing in court:

• Failure to Pay Rent: No advance notice required; file immediately.
• Breach of Lease: 30-day written notice required.
• Holdover Tenancy: 30-day written notice (may vary by lease type).

Proper notice ensures your eviction case proceeds smoothly in court.

File the Eviction Case in Rent Court for Calvert County

To start the Calvert County Eviction Process, file your case with the Calvert County District Court in Prince Frederick. This court handles all landlord-tenant disputes in the county.

For non-payment of rent cases, landlords must file a “Failure to Pay Rent” complaint using Form DC-CV-082. This is the official form for initiating an eviction due to unpaid rent.

• Filing Fee: $405 (includes processing and court fees)
• Hearing Date: Usually scheduled within 5–10 business days

If you hire an eviction service, they can appear in Rent Court for Calvert County on your behalf. After the hearing, if the court rules in your favor, the tenant typically has 4 days to pay or vacate. If not, you can proceed to the next phase.

File a Warrant of Restitution

After the 4-day period, you may request a Warrant of Restitution, authorizing the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office to remove the tenant.

• Sheriff’s Fee: Additional charge applies
• Eviction Scheduled: Usually 7–14 days after warrant approval
