Notice to vacate letter - Maryland
I am looking for a template to follow. I've never had to do one, so if anyone has one that they would be willing to email me, would really appreciate it.

I have a couple of things happening, and I got some free advice from an attorney on the eviction process. They are in breach of the lease (for having inoperable and untagged vehicles parked at the property), and this month they have not paid rent. So, I think they have made a conscious decision to ignore me, ignore the vehicle issue, and see what they can get away with. I issued a 30 day notice to vacate for breach of lease, and I also filed the "failure to pay rent" (assistance from rentcourtservices.com). So, they'll either be evicted for failing to pay rent (which sounds like it's the quicker route, and I don't necessarily need an attorney for that), or for breach of lease (in which case I would likely have an attorney assist). In either case, i'll hire an attorney to go after them for the balance of the rent (5 months), or for however long it takes me to find a new tenant. In 13 years, never had to file a failure to pay rent, and never had to evict, so hoping this is the last for at least another 13 years!! It's a hassle, but I guess the cost of doing business.
