Rent Escrow Part 2: The Rent Escrow Process

Tenants may use rent escrow to force landlords to repair serious or dangerous conditions in the property. If approved by the court, tenants pay rent into an escrow account until a landlord makes repairs. If you have questions, get help. Tenants and non-business landlords may receive free advice, but not representation, from lawyers at the Maryland Court Help Center. Call 410-260-1392 or visit mdcourts.gov/helpcenter.
