LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 5

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This amends § 7-109(c)(6) of the Real
Property Article to replace an obsolete reference to
the Maryland Savings-Share Insurance Corporation
(MSSIC) with a reference to its successor, the State
of Maryland Deposit Insurance Fund Corporation (MDIF).

Ch. 6 of the Acts of the First Special Session of the
General Assembly of 1985 eliminated the MSSIC and
replaced it with the MDIF.

The obsolete reference was noted by the professional
staff of the Legislative Division of the Department of
Legislative Reference.

8-204.

(e) If the landlord fails to provide the tenant with
possession of the dwelling unit at the beginning of the term of
any lease, whether or not the lease is terminated under this
section, the landlord is liable to the tenant for consequential
damages actually suffered by him [subequent] SUBSEQUENT to the
tenant's giving notice to the landlord of his inability to enter
on the leased premises.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a misspelling in § 8-204(e)
of the Real Property Article.

The misspelling occurred in Ch. 12 of the Acts of the
General Assembly of 1974.

The misspelling was noted by the Administrative Office
of the Courts of Maryland.

8-402.

(b) (5) When the tenant shall give notice by parole to the
landlord or to his agent or representatives, at least one month
before the expiration of the lease or tenancy in all cases except
in cases of tenancies from year to year, and at least three
months' notice in all cases of tenancy from year to year (except
in all cases of farm tenancy, the notice shall be six months), of
the intention of the tenant to remove at the end of that year and
to surrender possession of the property at that time, and the
landlord, his agent, or representative shall prove the notice
from the tenant by competent testimony, it shall not be necessary
for the landlord, his agent or representative to provide a
written notice to the tenant, but the proof of such notice from
the tenant as aforesaid shall entitle his landlord to recover
possession of the property hereunder. This subparagraph [(5)]
shall not apply in Baltimore City.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a stylistic error in §
8-402(b)(5) of the Real Property Article.

The stylistic error occurred in Ch. 12 of the Acts of
