For the ordinary end of a tenancy, Maryland Real Property §8-203(g), subject to subsection (j), requires the landlord to send a written list of claimed damage and an itemized statement of costs by first-class mail to the tenant’s last known address within 45 days after termination. The itemization must include supporting documentation identifying the materials or services. If an estimate is used, subsection (k) requires written notice when repairs are complete and a copy of the final invoice; any withheld amount above actual repair costs must be returned within 30 days after repairs are completed. Eviction or abandonment before the tenancy ends follows the separate procedures in subsection (h). Check the applicable procedure rather than treating this ordinary-tenancy summary as a complete deposit accounting.
