My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Maryland
We are trying to buy a house, but have a rental lease that ends on August 31st. We signed the lease in Maryland, form GCAAR 1205 Residential lease. The contract states that we are to give her 60 day notice, then vacate and be responsible to re-rent and advertise which we understand. It also says that the landlord can come after us for rent unpaid by the subsequent tenant, if it is within the remainder of our lease.
My question is: Can she come after us for anything else OTHER THAN rent? Ex: someone gets hurt, the tenant damages the house, etc if it happens during the time of the remainder of our lease? Below is the text from that portion of the contract. Thank you.
B. Reason within Tenant Control: if the tenant elects to voluntarily terminate this Lease during the initial term (for , house purchase, voluntary job change, marriage) two (2) full months' written notice prior to the rent due date to quit and vacate-to run from the first of the month to the last day of the second month--shall be given to Landlord/Agent. Tenant shall be responsible for rent payment during that period. Furthermore, Tenant shall be responsible for reasonable advertising and redecorating expenses, lost rent and other expenses incurred by Landlord/Agent as a result of Tenant's premature termination of this Lease. Landlord/Agent is not obligated to provide Tenant notice that the dwelling unit has been re-rented. Upon re-rental, Tenant will be held secondarily liable for default(s) by subsequent Tenant (s) in the payment of rent during the balance of the initial term of this Lease. If the leased premises are located in a multi-family structure or condominium building where Landlord owns multiple units, Landlord/Agent is under no obligation to rent Tenant's vacant dwelling unit before any other vacant dwelling unit in the rental facility.
