What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
I own my own home in Maryland (PG County) and my boyfriend moved in with me about 9 months ago. We do not have a written lease agreement, but we agreed upon a monthly rent, which he is currently overdue on by a few months. We are in the process of breaking up and he has mentioned several times that I have to give him 60 days notice to move out, but I do not think this is true based on what I've seen online. Can I just give him 30 days notice that his lease is not being renewed? Since our agreement is verbal and the term is based on his monthly payments? What is the requirement?
And jumping ahead a bit, if I give him the required notice, and he does not vacate prior to the termination date of the lease, do I then have to start eviction procedures from scratch? Or does the termination of lease notice count towards the eviction period of time?
Thanks!
