IMPORTANT:

Maryland makes you wait 10 days after serving this notice to your tenant(s) before you can file the actual failure to pay rent case, and miscounting the days means a dismissed case and lost weeks. Your free landlord account does the counting from your service date and emails you the exact day you're clear to file. Every notice you send stays on record as your proof for your court case.

Delivering the notice is still on you: mail it, post it on the door, or email it.
