Can My Landlord Evict Me During Coronavirus?

No, your landlord cannot evict you during the Coronavirus, at least not in Maryland, during the state of emergency, and as long as the failure to pay rent is related to loss of income due to COVID-19 or a state proclamation related to Coronavirus. Governor Hogan issued an emergency order on March 16, 2020 setting for his Executive Order titled Temporarily Prohibiting Evictions of Tenants Suffering Substantial Loss of Income Due to COVID-19.

The Executive Order prohibits evictions if a tenant cannot pay rent due to:

  • job loss
  • reduction in job hours
  • job closure, or
  • child care.

Similarly, Baltimore County has specifically prohibited landlords from evicting tenants during the state of emergency related to Coronavirus.  The article in The Baltimore Sun discussing it is here.  

Governor Hogan’s Executive Order applies to evictions across Maryland in all cities, including in its largest cities of Baltimore City, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Frederick, Waldorf, Glen Burnie, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Ellicott City, Dundalk and Bethesda.
