What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland (Prince George County)
Yesterday my apartment management called me and threatened to give me a 14 day termination notice because they caught on camera i left a piece of paper on the floor in front of the building. They want to charge me $50 for littering.
The piece of paper claimed they want to charge me $250 because I have stuff on my balcony and it's against county policy. I told them my balcony is empty and has nothing on there. their response was "oh we left this at every door of the apartment units"
They said this in a phone call "we just caught you throwing a piece of paper in front of door, oh and you're the one posting on our facebook page with negative comments." (They banned me from posting on their facebook page as well)
==============================================================
MY MAIN QUESTION:
Are they legally just give me a hand written note asking me to move out within 14 days?
==============================================================
Note this is May 17, my lease ends in August 16. I was planning on moving out already.
I was reading online, it seems like in State of Maryland, they have to give 30 day termination noticed, that is AFTER they talk to a judge giving them a reason to terminate my contract. I can refuse to move out which they will have to go through an eviction notice, if the judge rules against me and decide to move forward with the eviction I can appeal it. All and all the process may take up couple months, by then my lease would've been up anyways.
