A statewide listing of District Court of Maryland Eviction Case Data & its Process.

Maryland enacted a new law in 2022 requiring the District Court of Maryland to collect and report eviction case data. Additionally, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development is required to host a dashboard for the public to view and analyze the information, as well as produce an annual report on evictions.

The District Court began collecting the eviction case data required under the law on January 1, 2023, and the public dashboard was launched in May 2023.

Note: The data will not match the monthly eviction totals that are seen on the District Court of Maryland Landlord/Tenant Case Activity Report. That data is collected manually by all jurisdictions, as of the end of each month. Some jurisdictions rely on a total provided by the local Sheriff's department for an accurate count of the total evictions. Because the data provided in the spreadsheet relies on data entry, the clerks may not have all data entered into the case management system when the report is run. These evictions will be captured on subsequent month's reports because the reporting looks for when the data is entered by the clerk.
