The use of electronic filing (e-filing) technology provides a fast and convenient method of filing complaint documents for landlords while allowing the courts to operate more efficiently.
Baltimore County is the only MDEC county offering failure to pay rent e-filing for landlords. Effective November 1, 2023, Prince George's County will also begin accepting failure to pay rent filings electronically. Forms will be updated and released on this webpage November 1, 2023.
