The Maryland Petition for Warrant of Restitution (Filing Version) is a form used to file a claim for the return of a tenant's belongings if they have been evicted or have abandoned their rented property. The petition is filed with the Maryland District Court and must be accompanied by a copy of the tenancy agreement and the landlord's affidavit. It is then reviewed by a court commissioner who will determine if the tenant is entitled to restitution. If so, a warrant of restitution will be issued to the landlord. There are two types of Maryland Petition for Warrant of Restitution (Filing Version): one for tenants who have been evicted, and one for tenants who have abandoned the property. The evictions version is used when the landlord has already obtained a court order for the eviction of the tenant and the tenant has failed to comply. The abandonment version is used when the tenant has left the premises without notice and without paying rent.
