12)  The General Assembly also should consider
making the procedural time periods in both
sections similar.

13)  The last sentence of §8-402(b)(4) appears
to be intended to create certain exceptions
for Montgomery County. However, this
paragraph is ambiguous to the extent that this
provision might be interpreted to apply to any
special taxing area in the State, not only to
those in Montgomery County.

14)  Sec. 8—402(c) which provides a procedure
for ejectment when one—half years rent is due
should be amended to indicate that this
provision is applicable only to ground rents.

15)  The remedies provided in §§ 8—401 and
8-402 overlap in various respects; the
applicability of each should be clarified.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code, in
compiling Title 3 of the Real Property Article, concluded
that a certain provision of present law originally
allocated to Title 9 is repetitious, obsolete, or more
properly allocable elsewhere. Accordingly, these
provisions are not embodied in Title 8. Its proposed
treatment is as follows:

Section in Art. 21:

§8-213(j)
8-218(f)

8-305(c)
8-323(c)

Treatment:
