Eviction Bill Introduced to Extend Tenant’s Time to Reclaim Personal Property
Prince George’s County Sen. C. Anthony Muse (D) recently introduced PG 409-09 which grants the tenant the right to reclaim any personal property left in the premises within three full days after the eviction date. (Current law entitles tenants the right to reclaim personal property left in the premises within four hours.) The bill also alters the notice requirement to require the Sheriff, whenever a judgment is entered in favor of the housing provider for possession of leased premises, to: (1) mail the notice by first-class mail at least five business days before the scheduled date of execution or; (2) post on the premises at least two days before the scheduled date of execution. This bill applies to evictions only in Prince George’s County.
