60 days rent-increase notice.
Maryland has no statewide rent control (a few jurisdictions like Montgomery County and Takoma Park do). Month-to-month increases generally require 60 days' notice.
What this means for you: Some Maryland jurisdictions cap increases; check yours.
Your next step: Confirm 60 days' notice and any local cap.
