Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8A-702, when a rental agreement in a mobile home park is terminated under the applicable subtitle, the park owner is required to return to the resident any money or property that was provided as prepaid rent, a deposit, or security. The rule establishes a clear obligation of full refund upon termination, with no portion of those funds or property to be retained by the park owner.

For Property Managers

Park owners operating under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8A-702 are generally expected to maintain accurate records of all funds or property received from residents as prepaid rent, deposits, or security throughout the tenancy. Upon termination of a rental agreement covered by this subtitle, compliant operators return the full amount of those funds or property to the departing resident. Keeping organized documentation of what was collected and when can support a smooth and timely refund process at the end of a tenancy.

For Tenants

Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8A-702, residents of mobile home parks have a right to receive back all money or property they provided as prepaid rent, a deposit, or security when their rental agreement is terminated under this subtitle. If a park owner fails to make that refund, residents may have grounds to raise the violation in a civil proceeding or seek assistance from a tenant-rights organization familiar with Maryland's Mobile Home Park Act (§§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903). Consulting a local legal aid organization or tenant advocacy group can help residents understand the options available to them.
