Special procedures: if the property is in Baltimore City or Anne Arundel County, special procedures apply.
Expires: in a Failure to Pay Rent Case, the warrant expires 60 days from the date signed by a judge unless otherwise ordered.
Abandoned property: the landlord may not put abandoned property in the street, sidewalk, alley, or on any public property.
