Civil LitigationLandlord-Tenant DisputesCan a Lease Be Broken Over Rule Violations in Upper Marlboro?

Lease Violation Attorney Upper Marlboro, MD | Tenant Rules Enforcement

When tenants break the rules, it doesn’t just cause frustration—it can cost landlords money, time, and peace of mind.

As an attorney here in Upper Marlboro, I represent both landlords and tenants in lease violation disputes, and the one question I hear most is: Can a lease be broken over this?

The answer is yes—but it depends on the facts and the lease.

Let’s walk through what you need to know.

🚫 Common Lease Violations I Handle

Some of the most common problems that lead to lease disputes include:

  • Unauthorized occupants staying in the unit long-term
  • Illegal subletting
  • Pets in a no-pet property
  • Damaging the property
  • Disturbing other tenants with excessive noise or nuisance behavior

Whether you’re a landlord trying to enforce a lease or a tenant facing eviction, the key is how the lease was written and what the law allows.

🧾 Landlords: You Have the Right to Enforce the Lease

If your tenant breaks a clearly written lease term, you may have legal grounds to terminate the agreement.

But you must give written notice, and you can’t act outside the law.

I help landlords send proper violation notices and begin the legal steps to remove non-compliant tenants if needed.

👨‍💼 Tenants: You Still Have Rights

Even if you’ve been accused of breaking your lease, you have the right to:

  • Know what you’re being accused of
  • Receive proper notice
  • Defend your position in court

Not every violation justifies eviction. I’ve defended tenants against unfair or exaggerated claims and stopped illegal removals.

Whether you’re trying to remove a rule-breaking tenant or defend against a wrongful eviction, I’ll help you act fast and stay protected.

Lease violations don’t need to escalate into court battles—but if they do, you want someone who knows the law and the process.
