A Message from Arundel Community Development Services, Inc. - ACDS on Changes to Anne Arundel County Eviction Law
Calling All Renters & Landlords!
Effective July 1, 2026, Anne Arundel County Bill 101-25 makes the following major changes to eviction law for rental units in Anne Arundel County (not including City of Annapolis):
1. Once a court has issued a warrant of restitution (a court order allowing a Landlord to reclaim possession of a rental property), a Landlord may evict a Renter by serving the Renter with an eviction notice. This has always been the law.
2. The new law gives Renters more time to MAKE A PLAN when facing eviction.
3. Renter possessions will no longer be placed on the street when an eviction is final BUT the Landlord now may dispose of any possessions left behind.
