Tenant hold over

Aaron Smith
  • Baltimore, MD
Posted

I have a tenant who lease expired Feb 28, 2013. I gave her a 60 day notice Jan 4th that I was terminating her tenancy. The tenant refuse to leave. So i filed for tenant hold over with the city court. I had my trial and the judgement was for landlord which means i can schedule for eviction. The tenant didn't show up for the trial. In addition, the gas and electric was in the tenant name. I received notice from the gas and electric company stating the tenant has taken the gas and electric out of her name at the property and that it converted back to my name since I am the property owner. Which leads me to believe the tenant has moved out and just didn't notify me. As a landlord do I have the rights to take the property back or do I have to schedule for eviction and wait for the sheriff to let me in the house to take back possession?
