Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8-903, Maryland has established a statewide program through MLSC that provides legal representation to qualifying tenants facing eviction. Landlords and property managers conducting eviction proceedings should be aware that covered tenants may appear in court with legal counsel arranged through this program. Operators who understand this framework generally ensure their own filings and procedures are thorough and procedurally sound, since represented tenants may raise defenses more formally.
